11th International Veterinary Congress (Agriculture)

Throughout the ages humans have depended on animals for service, food, and companionship. In modern times, animals have even played a crucial role in research settings where diseases are studied and drug therapies are developed. Veterinary medicine and animal care focus on the provision of health care, surgery, and preventive services for a variety of animal species. Veterinarians and veterinary technicians address health emergencies as well as provide routine medical care.

This veterinary conference focuses on the exponential growth taking place in the veterinary sector. Veterinary medicine has responsibilities in biomedical research; ecosystem management; public health; food and agricultural systems; and care of companion animals, wildlife, exotic animals, and food animals. The veterinary profession contributes to improvement of human and public health by improving agriculture and food systems, among others.

Veterinary science is important to the study of livestock, herd health and monitoring the spread of disease. It requires the application of scientific knowledge in multiple areas and the use of technical skills in disease prevention that may affect both pets and wild animals. Animal Production facilitates improvements in agricultural productivity.
