Regular schools: specialist veterinary schools usually last for 3 years, but also for 2 and a half years; Undergraduate course lasts for 4 or 5 years, and the tuition fee is lower than other science and engineering majors, because he is an agricultural major. At that time, the tuition fee of Nannong was 2500, and that of a science and engineering was 5000+, so the veterinary tuition fee was relatively low. No matter what veterinary school you go to, there is no such thing as bag distribution now. If you think that being a veterinary drug salesman is also a distribution, there is still one.

Veterinarians refer to doctors who prevent, diagnose and treat animal diseases. Specifically, veterinarians are a kind of workers who use medical methods to promote the coordination between animals (including wild animals, poultry, livestock and aquatic animals) and microorganisms and the natural environment.

The major of animal science was merged from animal husbandry and veterinary medicine (part), animal bees (part), animal nutrition and feed processing when the Ministry of Education adjusted this major from 65438 to 0998. It is mainly set up by agricultural colleges or comprehensive universities (Zhejiang University, Yangzhou University and Yanbian University) and agricultural colleges or animal husbandry and veterinary colleges (departments) of ethnic colleges (northwest and southwest).

There are 50 colleges and universities (excluding Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan for the time being) offering this major, covering all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and quite a few colleges and universities can recruit students across provinces and regions.

Animal science now includes master's and doctoral programs in animal genetics and breeding, animal nutrition and feed science. According to the statistics of doctoral enrollment in 2000, China Agricultural University, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Northeast China, Nanjing, South China, Central China, Hunan, Guangxi, Gansu Agricultural University and China Academy of Agricultural Sciences have 13 units and 46 doctoral supervisors.

Animal science in China began with the germination of modern higher education in the early 20th century. For example, the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine of Shi Jing University, established in 1905, offered many courses in animal husbandry, and the Ministry of Education1921approved the establishment of animal husbandry specialty.

Since then, agricultural colleges or animal husbandry and veterinary colleges have generally set up animal husbandry disciplines to carry out teaching and scientific research. After the founding of New China, relatively speaking, China Agricultural University, Northwest A&F University, Northeast Agricultural University, Sichuan Agricultural University, Gansu Agricultural University and Nanjing Agricultural University established relatively strong animal husbandry disciplines through the adjustment of departments in the 1950s, and these institutions also obtained the authorization of master's and doctor's degrees earlier.

At present, on the one hand, the development of animal husbandry to facility animal husbandry puts forward higher requirements for animal science higher education in terms of quantity and quality; On the other hand, the breakthrough development of life science, such as asexual reproduction (cloning technology), human genome project and transgenic animals, has injected great vitality into animal science and will promote the rapid development of animal science specialty.

It is the development of society and animal husbandry that lays the foundation for higher animal husbandry education, which will greatly promote the prosperity and development of animal husbandry.
