摘要：Every organism is constantly exposed to biotic and abiotic environmental factors. Geological objects (soil, minerals, water, etc.) and factors play a great role in the development of a huge number of animal diseases. The diseases are endemics, for instance endemic osteodystrophy, enzootic ataxia in sheep, boric enteritis in sheep, white muscle disease and deficiency in microelements). As a result, Veterinary Geology as a new branch of veterinary medicine is being formed. Veterinary Geology studies the influence of natural and anthropogenic geological objects and processes on animal health and quality of animal products and use of minerals for treatment of animal's diseases of different etiology. Study of the epizootic situation and the role of geological objects and processes in the animal health allow to develop successful preventive and control measures. The overview presents the areas of application, directions and prospects for the development of veterinary geology in modern conditions. The importance of application of geoinformational systems (GIS) as an optimal tool for assessing, analyzing and managing risks in this branch of knowledge is shown.
