2. Introduction
Veterinary Science is the science of diagnosing,
treating and curing the diverse types of diseases in
birds and animals. The subject broadly covers the
study of animal physiology, treatment and
prevention of diseases among animals. The basic
principles of this specialized branch of study are
quite similar to that of human medical sciences. But
the job profile of a veterinary doctor or a vet is
much more than that of a general physician or a
surgeon. It involves not only taking care of animal
health but also includes scientific breeding and
handling of livestock.
