Department of Veterinary Services

The Department of Veterinary Services is a Federal Government agency under the Ministry of Agriculture Malaysia, whilst the State Department of Veterinary Services is administered under the authority of the State Government. Until 2011, the Department of Veterinary Services was led by nine (9) Director Generals. The headquarters was located in Singapore before it was moved to Wisma Tani, Jalan Sultan Salahuddin, Kuala Lumpur. It was then moved to Chase Perdana Building, Jalan Semantan, Damansara Heights until it shifted to its own building at the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries, Podium Block, Lot 4G1 and 4G2, Precint 4, Federal Government Administration Centre, Putrajaya at the end of May 2005. Lastly, as an organisation responsible for animal welfare and the livestock industry of the nation, the expansion of the scope of responsibilities as well as the role of the department to fulfill the global aspirations has brought about the re-branding of the Department of Veterinary Services Malaysia. 24 May 2008 was a historical date for the staff of the department in particular and the organisation in general when the name of the department was changed from “Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan” to “Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar” (DVS). This launch was done by The Honorable Dato’ Mustapa bin Mohamed, Minister of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries. Thus DVS is now more matured and confident, to be at par with the Departments and Agencies of the other Ministries.
