Large animal veterinary practice

Large animal veterinary practice focuses on the health and care of farm animals and other large animals, such as cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs. Veterinarians in this field provide preventive care, diagnose illnesses, perform surgeries, and manage herd health for livestock. They often work on-site at farms or ranches, developing relationships with farmers to ensure the well-being of animals and optimal productivity. Additionally, they may address public health issues related to animal diseases that can affect humans. This specialty combines veterinary medicine with agriculture, emphasizing both animal welfare and agricultural efficiency.
