Knowledge expansion:

Veterinarians refer to doctors who prevent, diagnose and treat animal diseases. Specifically, veterinarians are a kind of workers who use medical methods to promote the coordination between animals (including wild animals, poultry, livestock and aquatic animals) and microorganisms and the natural environment.

Animal science now includes master's and doctoral programs in animal genetics and breeding, animal nutrition and feed science. According to the statistics of doctoral enrollment in 2000, China Agricultural University, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Northeast China, Nanjing, South China, Central China, Hunan, Guangxi, Gansu Agricultural University and China Academy of Agricultural Sciences have 13 units and 46 doctoral supervisors.

The discipline that supports the veterinary industry is veterinary medicine. This subject mainly studies the etiology, epidemiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of animal diseases, and implements the theory and practice of animal product hygiene inspection and zoonosis prevention.

The branches of veterinary medicine include veterinary anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, toxicology, internal medicine, surgery, infectious diseases, parasitology and so on. With the progress of society and the development of veterinary science, this science not only directly guarantees the production of animal husbandry, but also extends to the fields of public health, environmental protection, human disease model and pharmaceutical industry.

Veterinary technician examination requirements: graduates who have obtained a degree in veterinary or animal health through two to four years of study in local veterinary schools.

At the beginning of the implementation of this examination system, the qualifications of veterinary technicians have been generally recognized, and veterinary staff who have graduated from animal husbandry and veterinary specialty and studied through teacher-student relationship are allowed to apply for the examination. After several years of transition, it is limited to veterinarians or graduates of related majors who have passed regular veterinary schools.
