Large Animal Medicine

Large Animal Medicine is a specialized area of veterinary medicine focused on diagnosing and treating health issues in farm animals like horses, cattle, sheep, and goats. It involves understanding their unique anatomy, physiology, and diseases to ensure their well-being, productivity, and safety. Veterinarians in this field perform routine health checks, provide emergency care, administer vaccinations, and manage chronic conditions. They also play a vital role in disease prevention, food safety, and animal welfare. This discipline combines medical expertise with knowledge of animal behavior and husbandry to support the health and productivity of large animals in agricultural and recreational settings.
