The article examines the key aspects of veterinary services in the production and processing of livestock products. The research aims to analyze, systematize, and generalize the existing theoretical and methodological foundations of digitalizing veterinary service processes across livestock production and processing. The article examines the specific features of the digital transformation of veterinary services in Ukraine’s agricultural sector in the context of the development of the digital economy and the growing requirements for biosafety, product quality, and supply chain traceability. It highlights the evolution of the role of veterinary services, which are shifting from traditional clinical and supervisory functions toward an integrated model of animal health management within the “farm – veterinarian – laboratory – processor – consumer” system. It is substantiated that digitalization creates the conditions for forming a unified information environment that enables continuous data exchange, automates veterinary procedures, enhances production transparency, and reduces the risks of epizootic outbreaks. Their functional groups justify classifying digital technologies in the veterinary sector into tools for data collection, analysis, verification, storage, and use, and technologies for interaction, automation, and cybersecurity. It is demonstrated that integrating electronic animal identification, E-Vet systems, IoT monitoring, blockchain platforms, and early-warning analytical systems creates a new architecture for veterinary management, focusing on prevention and risk forecasting. The study of digital solutions revealed significant economic effects: reduced transaction costs, lower veterinary medicine expenditures, increased livestock productivity, and accelerated certification processes. The research substantiates the need to develop digital competencies among veterinary professionals, integrate information technologies into agricultural education, and establish a national model of digital veterinary management aligned with EU standards. The results confirm the strategic importance of digitalization in enhancing the competitiveness of Ukrainian livestock production, strengthening food security, and ensuring the sustainable development of the agricultural sector.
Keywords: digitalization, veterinary services, digitalization of the veterinary sector, electronic animal identification, analytical monitoring systems, veterinary management, livestock production.
