Sažetak
In this paper the historic review of the beginning of the veterinary
literature dealing with domestic animal parturition will be presented.
It is belived that the first intervention in healing an animal started
with domestication. It has been known that the nomad shepard tribes
who made their living by stock- breeding used to help animals during
parturition. People have been graduallly improving that skill from the
prehistoric period onwards up to the period of the establisment of
modern, scientific human and veterinary medicine.
The first veterinary literature in Croatia appeared in the I6th century
whereas the first more significant veterinary texts were written
in the l8 th century by Enlighteners to whom the credit goes for
starting the croatian veterinary literature. However, the scientific
texts dealing with veterinary medicine and the first original veterinary
medicine textbooks in croatian language, appear only in the I9 th century.
First veterinary medicine papers on parturition of domestic animal
appeared in the mid 20th century. The problem areas dealth with in
those texts remaind the same in scientific and practical achievements
in veterinary medicine in 20th and 2lth century.
