Veterinary Research Institute is a public research institution established by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. Its primary focus is on research and development in the field of veterinary medicine, with a significant emphasis on applied research.
At the present time, the VRI is the only centre of research specialized in veterinary medicine in the Czech Republic and one of the few in Europe, which can conduct the most demanding studies with the right balance between basic and applied research due to the professional level of its teams, methodological basis and instrumentation. Its investigations cover all types of farm animals, whilst the control of diseases of cattle, pig and poultry is its top priority. However, we also focus our efforts on other animal species.
