The article deals with paradigmatic relations in English terminology of veterinary medicine. The aim of this work is to study such paradigmatic relations in the veterinary terminology as synonymy and antonymy. The author focuses on the generalization of theoretical views on the essence of the phenomenon of synonymy and antonymy in terminology in general. Using the example of terminological units in the field of veterinary medicine the peculiarities of the use of synonymous and antonymous units in English for the purpose of differential nomination of a fragment of the linguistic picture of the world are shown. The main types of synonyms and antonyms and their structural features in the studied terminology are identified and analyzed. It was revealed that different in structure terms enter into synonymous relations, among which one-word synonyms, two-component terms and synonyms represented by terms and the corresponding abbreviations predominate. At the level of paradigmatics, the phenomenon of synonymy in veterinary terminology is represented mainly by absolute synonymy. The synonymy of the studied terms is characterized by the variability of their form, by which we mean the formal variations of the same linguistic sign. Such relations of variability arise between units that are identical in content and different in mode of expression.The studied terminology is characterized by antonymy, which is a significant specific characteristic of English veterinary terminology. It allows to mark the semantics of the terminological system and ensures its symmetry and stability. Synonymy and antonymy are typical phenomena in this system that make it more flexible. They are characterized by sufficient consistency and order
