Nutrition: Understanding the dietary requirements of different animals and how to provide appropriate feed.
Disease prevention and control: Learning about common animal diseases and strategies for preventing and treating them.
Herd health management: Strategies for maintaining the health and productivity of a group of animals.
Reproduction: Understanding animal breeding, pregnancy, and childbirth.
Genetics: How genetics affect animal health, productivity, and breeding.
Animal behavior: Understanding animal socialization, behavior, and communication.
Housing and environmental management: Creating a safe and comfortable environment for animals.
Feed and water quality management: Maintaining the quality and safety of animal feed and water.
Zoonotic diseases and public health: Understanding how animal health can impact human health.
Livestock handling and husbandry: Safe and effective techniques for handling and caring for animals.
Biosecurity: Measures to prevent the spread of disease between animals and farms.
Vaccination programs: Developing and implementing vaccination schedules to prevent disease.
Parasite control: Understanding and managing parasites that affect animal health and performance.
Emergency and disaster planning: Preparing for and responding to emergencies that can affect animal health and safety.
Vaccinations: Preventing animals from contracting infectious diseases.
Parasite control: Preventing and treating internal and external parasites like fleas, ticks, worms, and mange.
Nutritional management: Managing the animal's diet to provide optimal nutrition and prevent deficiencies.

- "Along with this, it deals with animal rearing, husbandry, breeding, research on nutrition, and product development."
- "The scope of veterinary medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range of conditions that can affect different species."
- "Professional care is most often led by a veterinary physician (also known as a veterinarian, veterinary surgeon, or 'vet')."
- "Paraveterinary workers, such as veterinary nurses, veterinary technicians, and veterinary assistants."
- "This can be augmented by other paraprofessionals with specific specialties, such as animal physiotherapy or dentistry, and species-relevant roles such as farriers."
- "Veterinary science helps human health through the monitoring and control of zoonotic disease (infectious disease transmitted from nonhuman animals to humans), food safety, and through human applications via medical research."
- "They also help to maintain food supply through livestock health monitoring and treatment."
- "Mental health by keeping pets healthy and long-living."
- "Veterinary scientists often collaborate with epidemiologists and other health or natural scientists, depending on the type of work."
- "Ethically, veterinarians are usually obliged to look after animal welfare."
- "Veterinarians diagnose, treat, and help keep animals safe and healthy."
