Does agriculture and animal husbandry include veterinary medicine?

Generally, agricultural and animal husbandry schools include animal medicine, animal husbandry, agriculture, fishery, gardening and other related industries.

However, agriculture and animal husbandry majors are a general term, and there is no specific name for agriculture and animal husbandry majors.

Generally speaking, the major of veterinary medicine is the major of cultivating "veterinarians", which is a comprehensive discipline based on biology to study the occurrence and development of animal diseases (including research animals), and on this basis, to diagnose and prevent diseases, and to ensure animal health.

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 majors, veterinary medicine begins with the study of basic biology and medical theories, and then strengthens students' understanding of the theories through a large number of anatomical experiments. There is a clinical internship period of about one year to ensure that students finally master the methods of various animal specialties.

Animal husbandry includes four majors: animal genetics, breeding and reproduction, animal nutrition and feed science, grass science, and special economic animal breeding.

1. Animal genetics, breeding and reproduction.

Animal genetics, breeding and reproduction take the genetic improvement of agricultural animals as the overall goal, mainly apply basic research, and extend to basic research and applied research. That is, aiming at the development trend of animal genetics, breeding and reproduction scientific research, and the major scientific and technological problems and needs in the development of China's aquaculture industry, aiming at the frontier of the discipline, and organically combining high-tech and conventional technology.

2. Animal Nutrition and Feed Science.

Animal nutrition and feed science research is feed safety and animal product quality, monogastric animal nutrition and feed, ruminant nutrition and feed, animal behavior welfare and environment, animal molecular nutrition and feed biotechnology, feed and livestock products IT technology.

3. Pratacultural science.

Pratacultural science cultivates senior scientific and technical talents who have the basic theories, basic knowledge and basic skills in grassland science, and can be engaged in technology and design, promotion and development, operation and management, teaching and scientific research in agriculture and other related departments or units.

4. Special economic animal breeding.

The scientific research of special economic animal breeding plays an important role in the protection of biodiversity, the preservation and development of animal resources, and the multi-level needs of human beings, and has important academic value, broad application prospects, and significant economic, social and ecological benefits to promote animal health, improve the nutritional value and health quality of animal products, and ensure human health and environmental safety.

1. Different professional directions

Animal husbandry and veterinary medicine is the study of animal disease treatment, and animal medicine is the study of animal disease formation, diagnosis and treatment, protection, pharmaceutical, epidemic prevention, etc. The veterinary medicine specialty covers a wider range.

The Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine major cultivates senior technical application professionals who have the basic knowledge and technical skills of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, and can be engaged in livestock and poultry management and disease diagnosis and treatment.

The veterinary medicine major focuses on the occurrence and development of animal diseases, animal disease diagnosis and development, environment and animal protection, animal drug and biological product production, and public health and epidemic prevention.

Second, the training goals are different

The major of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine mainly cultivates high-quality technical and skilled personnel who master the basic knowledge of animal nutrition and feed, livestock and poultry environmental hygiene, animal genetics and breeding, livestock and poultry breeding management and disease diagnosis and treatment, and have the ability of livestock and poultry breeding management, selection and breeding, diet coordination and prevention and treatment of major livestock and poultry diseases, and are engaged in livestock and poultry ration coordination, feed processing, environmental regulation, breeding improvement, feeding management, disease prevention and control, etc.

Students majoring in veterinary medicine mainly learn the basic theories and basic knowledge of basic animal medicine, preventive medicine and clinical medicine, and receive basic training in normal and abnormal structure and function experiments, examinations, disease prevention, diagnosis, and advanced techniques of animal bodies, and have the basic ability of animal health care, clinical diagnosis and treatment, animal epidemic prevention and quarantine and veterinary health management.

Three: different employment directions

The development direction of these two disciplines after graduation is also different. After graduating from veterinary medicine, you can be engaged in the inspection of imported and exported animals in the inspection department, and you can also be engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases in some animal hospitals. The main places of work are in public places and sanitary places.

The focus is on health issues.

Animal husbandry and veterinarians can be engaged in the management of animal breeding and the prevention and control of animal diseases in the farm. People may have seen such a scene in the news, an outbreak of avian flu on a farm, resulting in the death of most of the animals in the farm, if there is a skilled animal husbandry and veterinary professional to manage it, this kind of thing may be reduced to a large extent.

Animal husbandry and veterinary medicine: animal husbandry is animals; Veterinarian: It's animal medicine.

Some universities have merged the internal and veterinary departments of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine to form animal husbandry and veterinary colleges; Some key universities, such as Nanjing Agricultural University, separate animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, set up animal medicine and animal husbandry, the direction of research is different, animal husbandry research is animal breeding, veterinary research is the diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases, of course, these two majors are some of the same.

The main courses include anatomy, Qichang physiology, genetics, animal pathology, animal pharmacology, animal internal medicine, animal surgery, etc. It can be applied to the immunization of sick pets and animals used in agricultural production, which is based on biology, studying the occurrence and development of animal diseases, and on this basis, the diagnosis and prevention of diseases, and the protection of animal health.
