The introduction of new technologies and financial support for the innovational pharmaceutical industry in the veterinary medicine sector based on the development of priority areas of the Ukrainian regions

The purpose of the work was to monitor the level of financing of innovation activities and regional level technologies transfer by regions of Ukraine on the basis of medium-term priority directions of innovation activity of the strategic priority on the national level “Technological renewal and development of the agro-industrial complex” and to realization of regional innovation priorities on the development and introduction of the latest biotechnologies and veterinary security medicines for farm animals.

At the present stage, the state pays much attention to the development of advanced new technologies in the agro-industrial sector, given the strategic importance of introducing innovative, high-quality, competitive domestic veterinary medicines to preserve the livestock population. In the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine from October 18, 2017, No. 980 "Some issues of determining the medium-term priority areas of innovation activity at the sectoral level for 2017-2021" (further -Resolution), state was emphasized the development, production and implementation of highly effective veterinary drugs using biotechnological methods [1].
As about 150 nosologies of animals and humans were common, the above-mentioned Resolution was monitored on pharmaceuticals (about 50 % of veterinary medicines are produced at enterprises of the pharmaceutical industry,

Aim
The purpose of the work was to monitor the level of financing of innovation activities and regional level technologies transfer by regions of Ukraine on the basis of medium-term priority directions of innovation activity of the strategic priority on the national level "Technological renewal and development of the agro-industrial complex" and to realization of regional innovation priorities on the development and introduction of the latest biotechnologies and veterinary security medicines for farm animals.

Materials and methods
The research was conducted according to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine from October 18, 2017, No. 980 "Some issues of determining the medium-term priority areas of innovation activity at the sectoral level for 2017-2021" and official information of regional state administrations on the results of innovation activities within the framework of regional development strategies, regional programs of scientific-technical and innovation development for 2017-2018 using indicators for: financial support of medium-term priority directions of innovation activity at the regional level; creation, acquisition, and transfer of new technologies in medium-term priority areas of innovative activity at the regional level; innovation activity at the expense of enterprises own funds on the basis of statistical survey.
Information was processed from 13 regional state administration during the monitoring of the implementation of medium-term priority areas of innovation activity at the regional level. The monitoring of the implementation of regional innovation priorities for 2017 was carried out on the basis of medium-term priority directions of the national level, approved by 2018-2021 by the CMU Resolution No 1056 of 28.12.2016 [3].

Results
One of 7 priority directions of innovation activity for the period up to 2021 is defined by Article 4 of the Ukraine Law "About priority areas of innovation activity in Ukraine", 2012 [2]: introduction of new technologies and equipment for high-quality medical care, treatment, pharmaceuticals (5 priority).
The main problem and one of the key priorities of Ukraine's economic growth is ensuring food quality and safety (9 priority action), namely: bringing national legislation in the field of veterinary and phytosanitary safety in line with EU directives and regulations, increasing the safety and quality of food products in as a result of the introduction of European standards and enhancement of the institutional capacity of the relevant executive authorities.
Technological development of the agro-industrial (agricultural) complex in the format of treatment and prevention of animals implies a constant positive dynamics of innovations, in particular, the application of fundamentally new technologies for the maintenance, feeding, treatment, and prevention of animal diseases, which in turn requires the use of funds.
Thus, it was found that financing of innovation activity on the basis of this strategic priority amounted to 605618.85 thousand UAH, or 50.9 % of the total funding priorities, which is on 20.0 % less compared to 2017 (757094.45 thousand UAH or 71.7 %). Despite the decrease in volumes of financing in 2018, the direction of the agro-industrial complex, as in 2017, ranks first among the seven strategic directions.
The list of medium-term priorities for this strategic direction, as compared to 2017, has changed due to the optimization of the number of priorities (7 instead of 8) and the updating of the subject, therefore their comparison is carried out according to the total amount of funding (Fig. 2).
By types of innovation activity, as in 2017, the vast majority of funds were directed at the implementation of innovation projects, programs ( That means the innovation activity of the regional level in 2018 in the field of the agro-industrial complex was carried out according to the same types and almost the same sharing of financing amounts as in 2017. The financing was made from the budget (UAH 509.32 thousand, or 0.1 % in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil and Kherson regions in almost equal shares) and for own funds of enterprises and organizations (UAH 605109.53 thousand, or 99.9 % ) with the maintenance of the proportions of funding in 2017 (0.04 % and 99.96 % respectively) ( Table 2).
Regarding the issue of the development and implementation of the latest biotechnologies in crop, stockbreeding and veterinary medicine, in terms of financing, the monitoring showed as followed in Table 3.

Medium-term priority directions of innovation activity

Conclusions
Financing of the veterinary pharmaceuticals sector in different regions of Ukraine ranges from 0.7 % to 3.5 % of the total industry-financed funds.
The results of the conducted monitoring give an opportunity: 1) to assess the legal and regulatory framework for the formation of medium-term priority areas of innovation activity of the agro-industrial complex as a state and each individual region and the veterinary sector as a whole (taking into account the needs of the industry in veterinary medicines, veterinary supplies, premixes, vaccines, derivatives, diagnostics, etc.); 2) to evaluate the financial support of medium-term priorities of the innovative activities by local budgets with the provision of veterinary medicines at the regional level; 3) to evaluate the effectiveness of innovation activities for created and acquired new technologies in the pharmaceutical sector of veterinary medicine; 4) to compare the obtained indicators with the previous periods, to track their dynamics and the tendency of development of medium-term priority directions of innovation activity at the regional level; 5) to use the results of monitoring in the formation of the list of medium-term priority directions of innovation activity at the regional level up to 2021 in the form of directing funds for struggling with animal diseases and, thus, creating safe conditions for human health.
