Risk is the possibility of a negative discrepancy and the likely scale of its consequences over a period of time. Giving producers of products for veterinary medicine and animal husbandry (such as veterinary drugs, protective equipment, feed, feed additives, etc.) responsibility for the production of quality products obliges them to clearly and systematically control all hazards that may occur in the production. The essence of effective product quality control is to ensure that measures to produce quality products are adequate and meet the task - not to harm animals and birds, provided the correct way of their use, as well as people. Accordingly, all production processes must be clearly regulated and periodically reviewed in the light of experience and the situation on the product market. Systematic control of the stability of production for veterinary medicine and animal husbandry according to the parameters defined in the quality specification is justified. It should be borne in mind that the activities of enterprises may be influenced by factors that hinder the implementation of the goals. G. Verbytska (2004) notes that the existing theory of both quantitative and qualitative risk assessment requires relevant information, although the information market on these issues is still underdeveloped. Therefore, the target methods of quantitative risk analysis are not developed, and the existing ones are not universal. Therefore, there is a need to combine methods, or their individual elements.

Analysis of dangerous factors is always specific to each process and production as a whole, so it cannot be "borrowed" from another manufacturer, even if it produces similar products. The experience of leading domestic and foreign veterinary companies shows that the analysis of dangerous facts (risks) consists of a series of consistent, logically interrelated actions.

The risk factors of the manufacturer should be considered as those under the direct influence of management. Therefore, their identification, analysis results, development of measures to minimize risks are considered one of the priority tasks of enterprise management, which is carried out by its management. Analysis of the activities of a number of enterprises, in particular the results of monitoring and selective control of product quality, confirms that there is a significant level of risk for veterinary enterprises. Their timely assessment and prompt application of appropriate measures can neutralize the identified risks, or eliminate the possibility of their occurrence Chornyi (2017). Inability or untimely assessment of risks excludes the possibility of their control. Therefore, the study of industrial and technological risks are relevant, and their timely detection warns of various threats and economic security of enterprises. Risk assessment of veterinary enterprises in modern conditions is unresolved, not specified in the methodological support of their assessment, which determines the importance of such studies.
