Abstract
This paper presents the development of veterinary education with special regard to the current Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Vienna, since the majority of our veterinarians graduated from faculties at universities in Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Lviv and in Italy. The study of different veterinary specialties attended by physicians and surgeons was performed in four different ways: short veterinary medicine courses, the regular study of veterinary medicine, postgraduate study of selected physicians and surgeons, and special postgraduate study for physicians and surgeons. At the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, there were following categories of candidates for: ordinary blacksmiths, farmers, shepherds hunters and sheep keepers, officers, future county physicians and county healers, workers for meat and livestock inspection, veterinary assistants and veterinarians. The turbulent history of development and transformation of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna is presented through several phases until 1976, as follows: 1766– 1777, 1777–1795, 1795–1808, 1808–1812, 1812– 1850, 1850–1896, 1897–1905, 1905–1919 and from 1912–1976 untill today.
