This year, the range of medicines in the kit has also been extended through the inclusion of antimicrobial and antiparasitic drugs.

“Supplements to the kits were issued not only to the reindeer breeders who applied for kits in 2025 but also to those who obtained them last year. With account taken of the pilot project’s results, the Governor has decided to go on issuing the kits,” a Press Service spokesperson said.

As of today, 1,452 kits have been issued, with another 500 to be handed out in 2026. The issue terms remain the same as before: leading a traditional way of life, participating in veterinary events, and carrying out reindeer counts. The veterinary kits are issued for two years.
