VETERINARY SERVICE 
 
Agriculture plays an important role in the development of our 
country. Agriculture remains the main source of providing the population 
with food. It supplies the necessary raw materials for the food and light 
industries which produce large quantities of consumer goods. 
Intensification of animal husbandry is better feeding and selection, 
introduction of the achievements of science and advanced method, great 
mechanization. It ensures an increase in the output of animal products. 
Specialization and concentration are increasing in animal husbandry. 
Farms for fattening of cattle, pig and poultry are set up. Large 
industrialized farms for the production of pork, beef, eggs and milk have 
been established. 
The tasks set for the veterinary science today are to increase animal 
productivity, to reduce death rate in animals, to make prophylaxes of 
animal diseases. 
Veterinary service should pay particular attention to the organization 
of veterinary work on industrial livestock and poultry farms to prevent the 
spreading of infectious diseases. 
The foremost attention is paid to the veterinary sanitation and 
hygiene. They are the foundation of human health, well-being of animals, 
good quality of animal production and high culture of cattle-breeding. 
 
6 

The duty of the veterinary doctor is to prevent infectious and noncontagious diseases, to treat sick animals, to control the quality of meat, 
milk and eggs delivered by farms. 
Animal diseases cause great damage to the herds of cattle. The 
success of the struggle and preventive treatment against these diseases 
depend upon the arrangement of the veterinary service. Vaccination of 
animals against infectious diseases is a specialized type of work in which 
veterinarians may be engaged. Biological industry has produced various 
drugs and preparations promoting resistance of animal body to harmful 
environmental conditions.

VETERINARY MEDICINE AND VETERINARY SCIENCE 
 
A veterinarian (American English) or a veterinary surgeon (British 
English), often shortened to vet, is a physician for animals and a 
practitioner of veterinary medicine. Veterinarians are usually ranked as the 
most intelligent and trustworthy among medical practitioners. They 
diagnose and treat disease in a variety of different species without verbal 
communication with their patients. 
Many careers are open to specialists with veterinary degrees. They 
work in clinical institutions and often practice in a limited field such as 
“companion animal” or pet medicine (small animals such as dog, cat, and 
pocket pets), production medicine or livestock medicine. Production 
medicine includes dairy cattle, beef cattle, swine, sheep, and poultry, 
equine medicine (e. g., sport, race track, show, and rodeo), laboratory 
animal medicine, or reptile medicine. Veterinarians may specialize in 
medical disciplines such as surgery, dermatology or internal medicine after 
post-graduate training and certification. 
 
9 

Some veterinarians pursue post-graduate training and enter research 
careers, and have contributed to advances in many human and veterinary 
medical fields, including pharmacology and epidemiology. Research 
veterinarians were the first to isolate oncoviruses, Salmonella species, 
Brucella species, and various other pathogenic agents. Veterinarians were 
in the forefront in the effort to suppress malaria and yellow fever in the 
United States. Veterinarians determined the identity of the botulism 
disease-causing agent; produced an anticoagulant used to treat human 
heart disease; and developed surgical techniques for human beings, such 
as limb and organ transplants. 
 
VI. Make up sentences using the vocabulary of the texts. 
 
VII. How can you describe the tasks of veterinary service or a 
veterinarian?
