Which requirement is explicitly stated as key feature as mandatory in the animal transfusion guidelines?

Among the key features of the new guidelines, mandatory blood typing and cross-matching is explicitly specified, alongside strict donor eligibility criteria and state-regulated veterinary blood banks. The guidelines also stress voluntary donations, a Donor Rights Charter, integration of One Health principles, and incorporation of transfusion training into BVSc & AH, PG, and Continuing Education programmes, while encouraging innovations such as mobile collection units, cryopreservation, and donor–recipient matching apps.
