Because in 1922 the Department of Hygiene-Bacteriology was established at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lithuania. Medical microbiology studies were conducted in the department, and medical microbiology specialists were trained. In addition to pedagogical work, there was scientific work as well &#8211; treatment and technical innovations created in the department: agaromicroelectrophoresis for the study of protein fractions, differential diagnosis of urological diseases, methods of prevention of purulent postoperative complications, 5 recommendations for doctors were prepared and published. Researchers of the department wrote and published 4 monographs: \u201cDysentery and the fight against it in the Lithuanian TSR\u201d \u2013 V.Girdzijauskas, D.Vikonyt\u0117-Vasiljevien\u0117, 1964, \u201cHandbook of the practice of medical microbiology\u201d \u2013 V.Girdzijauskas, D.Vikonyt\u0117-Vasiljevien\u0117, V.Kantauskas, H.Borisevi\u010dien\u0117, 1961, \u201cTreatment of children\u2019s diseases with antibacterial preparations\u201d \u2013 A.

The Institute\u2019s research tasks were formed taking into account the spread of animal diseases and the losses caused by those diseases in Lithuania. Problems of epizootiology, etiology, and prevention of animal diseases were constantly explored; research was carried out in the field of development of diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic measures for diseases of agricultural animals and birds. On the basis of research, the researchers of the institute wrote more than 970 scientific articles, 9 monographs, solved 160 scientific problems and tasks, and studied 35 scientific topics together with other institutes. During this period, more than 70 recommendations for the treatment and prevention of animal, bird and pond fish epizootiology and non-communicable diseases were developed and implemented. Between 1979 and 2004, when the Department of Veterinary Preparations was established and operated, the institute\u2019s researchers developed over 40 original and effective veterinary preparations. Since 1960, the employees of the Veterinary Institute have prepared and defended 67 doctoral theses and 7 habilitation doctoral theses. Permanent and part-time post-graduate courses were constantly operating at the institute, and after Lithuania regained its independence, a doctoral course was established (together with the Lithuanian Veterinary Academy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Institute participates in the activities of Animal Health and Animal Raw Materials Quality research at the integrated science, study and business centre \u2013 Nemunas. The activity is focused on the R&amp;D areas of epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, treatment and prevention of animal infectious diseases, aiming to create high-quality, safer and healthier animal food raw materials.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                            <div class=\"acc-item\" id=\"institute-projects\">\n                                                    <div class=\"acc-head\">\n                                Institute projects                            <\/div>\n                                                                            <div class=\"acc-c\">\n                                <div class=\"prose md:prose-lg\">\n                                    \n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International projects<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>International EU project COST No. FA0805 \u201cGoat-parasite interactions: from knowledge to control (CAPARA).
