The staff number of veterinary institutions of the State Veterinary Service of the RSFSR was organised in 1963. It changed and improved many times. In the Russian Federation, it has been significantly reduced, the most significant losses in the number of staff veterinary specialists of the State Veterinary Service of the Russian Federation suffered in 2004, and in the subsequent years, it was partially restored. Despite the measures taken, it does not meet modern requirements for ensuring the veterinary welfare of livestock and other industries. The authors attempt to develop an optimal organizational structure and the staff number of the State Veterinary Service of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The available number of veterinarians and paramedics in this Republic is 66.7 % of the science-based requirement. To organise an optimal structure of the State Veterinary Service of the region, it is necessary to employ an additional 475 veterinary doctors and 232 veterinary paramedics.
