The author aimed to outline the grounds and criteria, to single out methods and characterize procedural of research specifics, verification and evaluation of forensic veterinary expert conclusion . In order to achieve this goal, a set of interrelated research methods (dialectical, systemic-structural, systemic-functional, comparative-legal, formal logic (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy), modeling, statistical) was applied. The grounds, criteria, methods and procedural specifics of the research, verification and assessment of forensic expert conclusion are considered. Attention is focused on forensic and veterinary aspect of this issue. It is claimed that during verification of forensic expert conclusion, it is necessary to assess its comprehensiveness, completeness and objectivity, as well as scientific validity, reliability, correctness, admissibility of using methods and techniques, means and methods of conducting expert research, as well as adequacy and relationship with other evidence collected within the framework of a criminal proceeding (case) with the aim of making a correct procedural decision (for evidence of factual data and circumstances proven by expert research). The criteria for completeness and reasonableness of the expert’s conclusion are proposed, as well as the algorithm for evaluating such a conclusion by the investigator, prosecutor, defense attorney, investigative judge, and court. The application of a set of these criteria to the assessment of a forensic expert’s opinion will guarantee the reliability of the verification and assessment of such conclusion, as well as create reliable conditions for making procedural decisions in legal proceedings.
