An operation by the Ministry of Bioagroindustry in Colonia Caroya, Jesús María, and Sinsacate resulted in the closure of two veterinary clinics and the massive seizure of supplies. The Directorate of Inspection inspected feed stores and veterinary clinics and found irregular sales of medications as well as failures in record-keeping and preservation. Authorities indicated that several batches lacked documentation and sanitary conditions, so they ordered their removal and preventive retention.
Nearly 2,000 units of zootherapeutic products were seized and are now at the disposal of experts to analyze their safety and legitimacy. In addition to closing businesses, inspectors ordered other companies to regularize their authorization and provide medical technical direction. The Ministry warned that the sale of medications without professional supervision compromises treatments and may affect the health of domestic animals.
The inspections included verification of labels, preservation status, and batch traceability in stores throughout the province. The inspections complied with the Provincial Law that requires the technical direction of a veterinary doctor for the sale of animal health products. The community was reminded that only authorized businesses with a technical manager may sell veterinary drugs according to current regulations.

Clandestinity and controls that do not relent
Inspectors drew up reports and certified the irregularities so that the administrative authority can apply sanctions and complementary measures. The public was informed about reporting channels to report irregularities and assist with ongoing inspections. The seized products will be analyzed by experts and may be subject to administrative and judicial proceedings depending on technical findings.
The initiative aims to prevent unfit or counterfeit items from reaching the market and putting the health of domestic and production animals at risk. The Ministry emphasized the need for the supply chain to respect traceability and good practices to ensure efficacy and safety. The veterinary clinics that were ordered to comply received specific deadlines to complete procedures, and it was warned that noncompliance could result in fines or new closures.
Citizens may make inquiries or file complaints by calling 0800-8888-2476 or through the digital platform provided by the department for this purpose. The operation is part of an ongoing inspection plan aimed at organizing the market and protecting local owners, producers, and consumers. Authorities called for social collaboration to identify irregular points of sale and ensure compliance with regulations.
