Alternative veterinary medicine is the use of alternative medicine in the treatment of animals. Types alternative therapies used for veterinary treatments may include, but are not limited to, acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy, ethnomedicine and chiropractic. The terms alternative veterinary medicine, complementary veterinary medicine, holistic veterinary medicine, and integrative veterinary medicine may be used as synonyms. The task force for complementary and alternative veterinary medicine for the American Veterinary Medical Association says that:” There is only one veterinary medicine and only one standard by which it should be assessed. All treatments and modalities should be judged by the same criteria and held to the same standards. Descriptive terms such as holistic, conventional, traditional, alternative, integrative, or complementary do not enhance the quality of care provided and should not receive special consideration when judging the safety and efficacy of those treatments. In practice, alternative veterinary medicine may incorporate, but is not limited to, acupuncture, botanical medicine, chiropractic, homeopathy, massage therapy, and nutraceuticals. A veterinarian interested in alternative treatments may be a member of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA).The modalities comprising alternative veterinary medicine vary in their evidence for effectiveness. ccording to the AHVMA, holistic medicine is humane. Use of blood tests, X-rays, and similar objective diagnostic techniques are minimized. Nearly every form of medicine and therapy used in alternative medicine for humans is also used in holistic veterinary medicine.

Vaccines work by stimulating an immune response in an animal without causing the disease itself. This means, if appropriately vaccinated animals are then exposed to the pathogen against which they have been vaccinated, they can expect a level of protection from disease. Several vaccine types can de distinguished among the second-generation veterinary vaccines, depending whether they are live or inactivated, according to the strain of rabies virus used and the characteristics of the cell substrate chosen for viral replication.

Veterinarians can use environmentally friendly practices in their local environments by recycling when possible and disposing of drugs and biological wastes appropriately. Veterinarians who work in agriculture can contribute by giving environmentally friendly advice on waste management and carcass management. Manure runoff can contribute to high nitrates and nitrites in the water system, and to nutrient overload in aquatic ecosystems, which could contribute to harmful algal blooms and oxygen depletion. Veterinarians working in agriculture can contribute further by encouraging wildlife-friendly practices; for example, in Africa, they are protecting cheetahs by providing herding dogs for livestock protection. Clinical veterinarians can contribute by judiciously using drugs, which end up in animal waste and carcasses, and helping clients dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way. Improper disposal of carcasses has killed wildlife and domestic animals through barbiturate poisoning, and in these cases, the veterinarians are legally liable. Manure from animals that have been recently dewormed can kill environmentally important invertebrates. Veterinarians are working with state departments of environmental conservation to manage wildlife populations. Veterinarians work in public health, solving environmental problems that affect domestic animals and humans. Domestic animals are great sentinels for things that affect humans. I have consulted in cases of lead poisoning where we found an environmental source that was also affecting the human owners of the animals.

Wildlife rehabilitation medicine is a field within the profession of veterinary medicine that focuses on the health management of wildlife species. Our goal is to restore health and function to sick and injured wild animal patients to enable them to survive in the wild. Wildlife rehabilitation medicine is a field within the profession of veterinary medicine that focuses on the health management of wildlife species. Our goal is to restore health and function to sick and injured wild animal patients to enable them to survive in the wild. Wildlife rehabilitation medicine entails all the aspects of veterinary medicine that most people are familiar with, such as surgery and diagnostic testing. A significant difference is that our patients are wild and are not destined to spend their lives in captivity. Because their instinct is to resist captivity as a means of survival, treatment decisions take into consideration the stress level of the animal being handled. Additionally, we are extremely careful not to let the animals become habituated to humans. Another major difference is that we work with hundreds of species of mammals and birds (and an occasional reptile and amphibian) rather than one or a few. At any moment, we may receive a species we have not yet treated. We must constantly keep educating ourselves and refining our procedures to meet the needs of so many different animals.

veterinary genetics are crucial to understanding and controlling many diseases and disorders in animals, genetics is being applied to artificial selection in animal production. It also covers the conservation of genetic diversity in both domesticated and wild animals. Animal genetics focuses on various aspects of animal heredity, or the passing of traits from one generation to the next. The field encompasses topics such as genetic variability, genetic testing, and animal breeding. Those with a background in animal genetics may work for a variety of employers, including government agencies, zoos, and food producers.

Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture concerned with animals that are raised for meat, fibre, milk, eggs, or other products. It includes day-to-day care, selective breeding and the raising of livestock. Husbandry has a long history, starting with the Neolithic revolution when animals were first domesticated, from around 13,000 BC onwards, antedating farming of the first crops. By the time of early civilisations such as ancient Egypt, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs were being raised on farms. Modern animal husbandry relies on production systems adapted to the type of land available. Subsistence farming is being superseded by intensive animal farming in the more developed parts of the world, where for example beef cattle are kept in high density feedlots, and thousands of chickens may be raised in broiler houses or batteries. On poorer soil such as in uplands, animals are often kept more extensively, and may be allowed to roam widely, foraging for themselves. Most livestock are herbivores, except for pigs and chickens which are omnivores. Ruminants like cattle and sheep are adapted to feed on grass; they can forage outdoors, or may be fed entirely or in part on rations richer in energy and protein, such as pelleted cereals. Pigs and poultry cannot digest the cellulose in forage, and require cereals and other high-energy foods.

Large Animal Internal Medicine (LAIM) specialists focus on diagnosing and treating medical diseases. All LAIM specialists are qualified to practice high-level specialty medicine on large animal species such as horses, cattle, goats, sheep, alpacas, llamas and others; however, many choose to specialize in one or a few of these types of animals. With specialized tools and an extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology and internal medicine, LAIM specialists are uniquely qualified to diagnose and manage a wide variety of problems. Examples of conditions for which a large animal might benefit from evaluation by a board-certified large animal internal medicine specialist include: Acute or chronic diarrhea, Anemia or bleeding disorders, Coughing and other breathing problems, Diseases of the nervous system.

Animal breeding is the process of selective mating of animals with desirable genetic traits, to maintain or enhance these traits in future generations. For livestock, this involves estimation of the genetic value of individuals for traits including growth rate and yield of products such as eggs, milk or meat. Animal breeding is a branch of animal science that addresses the evaluation (using best linear unbiased prediction and other methods) of the genetic value (estimated breeding value, EBV) of livestock. Selecting for breeding animals with superior EBV in growth rate, egg, meat, milk, or wool production, or with other desirable traits has revolutionized livestock production throughout the world. The scientific theory of animal breeding incorporates population genetics, quantitative genetics, statistics, and recently molecular genetics and is based on the pioneering work of Sewall Wright, Jay Lush, and Charles Henderson.

Docking is the removal of portions of an animal’s tail. While docking and bobbing are more commonly used to refer to removal of the tail, the term cropping is used in reference to the ears. The length to which tails are docked varies by breed, and is often specified in the breed standard. The term cropping is more commonly used in reference to the cropping of ears, while docking more commonly-but not exclusively-refers to the tail. The term tailing is also commonly used. The term arises because the living flesh of the tail, from which the animal’s tail hairs grow, commonly is known as the dock. Many breeds of sheep have their tails docked to reduce the buildup of faeces which can encourage fly strike. Also used for this purpose is mulesing. Docking also makes it easier to view a grown ewe’s udders to detect potential problems.
