The history of the Veterinary Medicine....


Animals have always been an integral part of all aspects of human life. From the earliest eras in human history, animals have played a significant role in the lives of people all over the world, and there have alway been some form of vet school, even if very primitive. Animal owners from ancient Chinese civilizations produced written information about diseases present in various animals, such as horses and buffalo.



The ancient Chinese employed elaborate recipes to create medicines that they could use to heal sick animals, and even people. The earliest documentation of this information is from 2500 B.C.E.
Ancient Egyptian civilization, which dates from 3000 B.C.E. to about 400 B.C.E., produced art that features animals, such as cattle, dogs, and cats. In ancient Egyptian culture, the cat was considered sacred and was highly respected. Egyptians were fascinated with cats, and by 2000 B.C.E., domesticated cats were brought into Egyptian houses.

Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle created a system of classification for animals, which became taxonomy for animals that is still sometimes referred to today. During the ancient Roman era (753 B.C.E.-600 A.D.), a Roman scholar named Columella wrote 12 volumes on the topic of animals. He wrote about breeding, livestock health, and animal care and treatment. Columella was the first to use the term “veterianarius” to describe a doctor who treats animals.
In the Middle Ages, the plagues that swept through towns and cities all over Europe were transmitted through rats and other animals, and, even then, citizens knew of the danger these creatures could bring to their homes. In 1782, the first veterinary school opened in Lyon, France. Before the opening of this school, anyone treating animals would simply use the same treatments for the animals as they did for human beings.
John Hunter, who lived in the late eighteenth century, greatly affected veterinary medicine by bringing attention to the profession. He died in 1793, but not before ensuring the publication of various research and other works concerning veterinary medicine.
During the colonial era in the United States, people owned animals as livestock and transportation. In 1851 and 1854, George Dadd, a British surgeon who decided to work as a veterinarian, published two important works, The American Cattle Doctor and The Modern Horse Doctor.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) was established in the United States in 1863.
In 1879, the first American veterinary school was established. In 1927, a government agency that would become the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was formed.
The FDA’s first veterinarian was Dr. Henry Moskey. In 1953, the Veterinary Medical Branch was established as an offshoot of the Bureau of Medicine, which was part of the Department of Health, Education, andWelfare.

The Bureau of Veterinary Medicine (BVM) was established in 1965, and in 1985 became the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), which is the federal agency that regulates the manufacture and distribution of food additives and drugs given to animals. The CVM continues today to work to maintain and improve animals’ health and keep the public safe.

Today, there are 28 accredited veterinary schools in the United States. The coursework for the program one must follow to become a veterinarian is challenging, and admission to veterinary schools is challenging as well. In spite of these difficulties, about 60,000 veterinarians are practicing in the United States, and employment in the field is expected to increase 33 percent by the year 2018. The salary for the average veterinarian is expected to grow in the next few years as well.
