Agriculture Degree Program in China - Animal Medical Science

1. Introduction

Animal Medical Science is a comprehensive discipline based on biology to study the occurrence and development laws of animal diseases, and on the basis to diagnose and prevent diseases, to protect the health of animals. Animal medicine is divided into animal medicine internal medicine and animal medicine surgery. Animal medicine internal medicine is a discipline about animal diseases diagnosis, treatment and prevention, speaking from the big scope, including animal internal medicine and surgery, pandect of animal medicine internal medicine and internal prevention of animal medicine internal medicine specific theories. Animal medical surgery is mainly the science of surgery methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases of domestic animals, can also through the method of operation, change the metabolism of animal organism, so as to improve the quantity and quality of animal products, the draught animals can enhance the ability to use and breeding excellent varieties. Its basic task is to effectively prevent and control the occurrence of diseases of livestock and poultry, companion animals, medical laboratory animals and other ornamental animals.

Similar to other medical specialties, animal medicine must first learn basic biology and medical theory, then through a large number of anatomical experiments to strengthen students' understanding of the theory. There is a year or so of clinical practice, to ensure that students eventually master the methods of various types of treatment of animal products.
