Abstract

The authors of this paper stress three reasons why to promote the role of veterinary medicine in stockbreeding. They are: 1) to maintain veterinary authority and to facilitate prosperity, 2) to support stockbreeding swerve from production oriented on quantity to production oriented on quality with extra concern for the environment and animal welfare and 3) to help make good conditions for realisation of promises given by oath: « I will not allow, even under threat, my veterinary knowledge to be used contrary to veterinary ethics and humanity. I will develop all my energy and knowledge in theoretically and pratically, to contribute to better life of my people». After a short history of veterinary and stockbreeding development authors stress the need for extending veterinary activity from the area of animal health protection to hygiene and quality of foodstuff of animal origin. The authors also emphasite onthe necesity of setting standards, not only in the technical, but also in the educational sense.
