The National Veterinary Service was established on 8 February 1933. Officials sought to control livestock diseases and improve animal health. Veterinarians coordinated vaccination campaigns and quarantine regulations. Their work protected major export industries dependent on cattle and sheep.

Its founding remains important for Argentina’s food safety and rural development.
