Collecting and compeleting the Information is the primary principal in every research including biotechnological studies. Information collecting concerning the amount and kinds of biological materials is too essential for taking steps towards self-sufficiency.
Firstly, obtaining a comprehensive definition on veterinary biological materials with available scientific references has been tried in this plan. Then, the animal originated biological materials were divided in 7 categories including:
1) Vaccines
2) Bacterins and bacterial extract
3) Antibody products
4) Toxoids
5) Antitoxins
6) Diagnostic products
7) Miscellaneous
Then, the information concerning kinds and amount of veterinary biological materials consumption have been collected Via their main consuming and supplementary centers and complementary information about the products has been obtained through importer companies. To do so, veterinary organization and Customs adminisration were referred as well as private companies.
After that, When the primary List was prepared all materials have been studied individually and more detailed and Scientific information was collected and producing and consuming statistics were studied. Major central suppliers of animal biological material including domestic producers and importer companies have been mentioned in a list. More over, in some cases, their products has also been mentioned. Some major cansuming centers have also been mentioned.
Generally, it could be said that state formal information and statistics in the field of animal biological materials are far from the truth and this causes some difficalties in the procedure of planning in this field. according the information and statistics of costums, total value of imports concerning veterinary biologics is 400 to 500 million $ and exports is 10 million $. It is stimated that Internal products is 200 to 300 million $. In this plan It has been tried to specify the distance between current statistics with the real one.
