This will vary depending upon the type of practice the veterinarian is in. For a small animal private practice veterinarian, daily tasks include performing physical exams, collecting diagnostic samples and communicating with clients. For a dairy herd veterinarian, daily tasks include record reviews at the farm, pregnancy checks on the herd and nutritional reviews. For a public health veterinarian working in a slaughter house, daily tasks include ante mortem examination of the animals, giving relief breaks to the online inspectors and verifying the implementation of the facility's written food safety plans.
