Smolensk OOO Belmitsnab received it from Mahileu OAO Alexandrijskoe.

The further laboratory control on production for a revealed risk group will be introduced by Territorial Department of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance.

Veterinary control manager of the Smolensk region is recommended to consider above data when adopting measures to prevent the circulation of controlled products not coming up to the requirements.
