PROMOMED Group has joined the animal welfare program of the Novosibirsk Zoo named after R.A. Shilo, taking over the costs of the full annual maintenance of Snezhana's manul. Manul is a rare member of the felidae family, listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation. The funds will be used to maintain comfortable conditions for keeping the animal, provide necessary care and implement measures important for its health and quality of life.

The project has become part of PROMOMED's social activities aimed at supporting environmental programs, preserving biodiversity and fostering responsible attitudes towards animals.

For PROMOMED, participation in the project has become a continuation of a systematic approach to animal health issues. In 2024, PROMOMED — Animal Health was founded within the Group, which specializes in the development and production of modern veterinary drugs of pharmaceutical quality. The company's products are created on a full—cycle basis — from the molecule to the finished dosage form - at the Biochemik plant (part of the PROMOMED Group), certified according to the EAEU GMP standard for the production of veterinary products.

PROMOMED is well aware of how competent maintenance of physiological cycles and maintaining optimal shape are important for the quality and duration of life. In manulas, as in many wild animals, seasonal physiological cycles are of great importance. In autumn, Snezhana will have to "heal" — a natural weight gain for the cold season, and in spring — "fattening", that is, a gradual decrease in body weight. For the welfare of the animal, it is important that these processes take place correctly and under the supervision of specialists. Besides, recently manul Snezhana became a mother of many children. During such a period, they are especially significant for her. stable living conditions, adequate nutrition and constant attention from specialists: after the birth of offspring, the animal needs resources to restore and maintain optimal physical shape.

"For us, animal health is not only a professional field, but also part of a responsible attitude to the world in which we live. Snezhana is a rare animal, a representative of a species that needs special care. And at the same time, she is a mother, for whom resources, stability and attentive support are especially important now. By developing the veterinary field, we see our task as broader than creating modern medicines: it is important for us to support initiatives that help preserve rare species and form a culture of caring for animals. Custody of Snezhanoy is a very warm and at the same time significant project for us, combining expertise, social responsibility and sincere caring."
