The article considers the conceptual categories represented by English terms of epizootology. The urgency of research is due to the need to systematize epizootological terminology through the modeling of conceptual categories represented by linguistic means. The aim of this paper is to study the categorization of English-language epizootological terminological units according to the types of concepts which they represent, and to determine the percentage of selected groups within the analyzed field of knowledge. The study was based on a sample of lexicographic data recorded in English specialized and explanatory dictionaries. During the analysis of lexicographic material, continuous sampling methods of language material, definition analysis, classification, as well as comparative analysis and statistical method were proposed. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the approaches of scientists to determine the category typology are analyzed. Different scientific disciplines have their own set of categories based on existential (ontological) categories as the most abstract quantities, which are integral characteristics of reality and reflect its most common properties and relationships. The typology of categories varies depending on the affiliation of terminological corpora to the technical, natural or human sciences. Analysis of the epizootology terms showed that they are structured by the following categories: "biological object", "process", "features and properties", "methods and technologies", "quantities and units" In the studied terminology, these categories perform functions of classification, informativeness and identification. The article identifies the most and least common conceptual categories, which are expressed in English terms of epizootology. It was substantiated the importance of typology studying terminological units for the analysis of the system organization of specialized vocabulary
