A fully equipped mobile veterinary clinic took the floor at Saudi Agriculture 2026 in Riyadh, offering examinations, diagnosis, treatment, vaccination and surgery directly inside sheep and goat farms, in a display that reflects the accelerating shift in livestock production and field veterinary practice.
The unit is built around a restraint device that eases handling of animals during examination and treatment, alongside weighing and ultrasound equipment, vaccination and injection supplies, and tools for numbering, assisted delivery and horn handling, so that procedures are carried out on site rather than after transporting herds elsewhere. A surgical table and sterilisation provisions allow operations to be performed in the field, while a refrigerator keeps medicines stored and transported under proper conditions.
Data captured during each visit, including examination results and the procedures carried out, are linked to an electronic system that produces detailed reports delivered to the breeder through phone applications, allowing the farmer to review services received, follow the health status of animals and read treatment recommendations. Ultrasound images are stored and attached to the final visit report, which supports diagnostic accuracy and later follow-up.
«The clinic was designed to provide an integrated set of veterinary services inside farms, which limits the need to move animals for a number of essential services,» said Dr. Mohammed Al-Najjar, a participant in the exhibition. He added that integrating field veterinary work with laboratories, veterinary pharmacies, nutrition services, testing and specialised consultancy can strengthen herd health and help tailor preventive and treatment plans to each farm's needs.
The display sits within the 43rd edition of the exhibition, held at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center from 19 to 22 October under the patronage of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture and organised by Riyadh Exhibitions Company. The event hosts more than 330 exhibitors from over 28 countries along with 14 international pavilions across an exhibition area exceeding 19,000 square metres, and runs alongside the Saudi International Conference on the Future of Agriculture, whose sessions address robotics, drones, artificial intelligence and data in farming, precision and vertical agriculture, smart irrigation and the development of poultry and livestock production.
