CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Classification and related fields of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine

Classification of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine

Animal husbandry and veterinary medicine is a discipline involving animal husbandry, breeding and veterinary health care. According to different classification standards and research directions, animal husbandry and veterinary medicine can be divided into the following aspects:

• Animal Husbandry: It mainly studies the knowledge of animal production management, breeding improvement, feed nutrition and animal physiology. Animal Husbandry aims to improve the breeding efficiency of livestock and poultry, improve the quality of livestock and poultry and ensure the health of animal groups.
• Veterinary Medicine: covers the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of animal diseases. The goal of veterinary medicine is to protect the health of livestock and poultry and to prevent and control the spread of animal diseases.
• Animal Science: The study of anatomy, physiology, behavior, and genetics of animals. Animal science aims to increase understanding of animals, optimize animal husbandry conditions, and improve animal productivity.
• Animal ecology: focuses on the relationship between animals and the environment and the role of animals in the ecosystem. Animal ecology aims to protect and maintain the natural ecological balance and studies issues such as the number, distribution and relationship of animal populations.
• Animal behavior: The study of animal behavior patterns, social structures, and interactions between animals and their environment. The goal of animal behavior is to reveal the mechanisms behind animal behavior and provide a basis for animal management and protection.

Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine

Animal husbandry and veterinary medicine involves many fields in practice. The following are some of the main directions:

• Breeding management: responsible for the feeding environment, feed preparation, disease prevention and control, and production management of livestock and poultry, aiming to improve the efficiency of animal breeding.
• Reproduction and breeding: Improve the genetic quality of livestock and poultry through selection and breeding, and improve the production performance and quality of livestock and poultry.
• Animal health care: responsible for animal health management, disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment to ensure the health of livestock and poultry populations.
• Animal nutrition: Research the nutritional requirements and feed formulas of animals, and provide scientific feeding plans to meet the nutritional needs of animals.
• Animal research: Conducting scientific research related to animals, such as animal behavior research, genetic improvement, etc.
• Veterinary drug research and development: research and production of veterinary drugs for the prevention and treatment of animal diseases.
