How does being a veterinarian relate to agriculture?

Answer 1

There are multiple ways in which veterinarians directly relate to agriculture. First, large animal veterinarians provide medical treatment for livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats and pigs; these animals are commercially raised for slaughter and are considered the livestock portion of agriculture. Second, there are other veterinarians who provide medical treatment for dairy cattle and dairy goats, which are also raised and maintained for milk production, another segment of agriculture. All of these animals rely on feedgrains, which in the United States are the primary row crops (corn, soybeans, wheat).

Other veterinarians work to inspect meat and poultry products to ensure they are safe to consume. Still other veterinarians work to keep foreign diseases out of the United States (or whichever country you are thinking about) as well as work to eradicate major diseases within the country's animal populations.

Answer 2

That just depends on what animals a vet is practicing on. If he or she is solely practicing on farm animals, then yes. But if the vet is only practicing on just pets both domestic and exotic, then no.

Answer 3

Veterinary medicine is a kind of health care guarantee for livestock. It is a practice where vaccinations can be purchased, medicines can be purchased and used if an animal is ill, and a person with a doctorate in veterinary medicine can be called out to help an animal that is sick, injured or suffering of an unknown cause. They are also qualified to euthanize an animal that is beyond help or suffering a chronic, painful illness or injury that cannot be cured without extensive time and money from the owner.

Majority of producers find they have to be veterinarians themselves when they have an animal that is sick or injured or is having troubles giving birth, and have to be educated in the symptoms and signs of the more common diseases and injuries that can be found in the livestock that they raise. Veterinarians are there for producers usually when a producer can't figure out what is wrong with their animal and as a means to see what can be done to, essentially, "fix" the animal in the best way possible so it can continue to be productive and continue it's life on the farm.

Being a veterinarian has everything to with Agriculture. (With the exception of small pets) They treat every animal in the field with medical attention.
