Animal husbandry and veterinary medicine are two different majors with different research directions: animal science (animal husbandry) focuses on animal breeding and breeding, and cultivates senior scientific and technological talents with basic theories, knowledge and skills of animal science, who can engage in technology and design, promotion and development, operation and management, teaching and scientific research in related fields and departments of animal science. Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of animal production and management, animal genetics and breeding, animal reproduction, animal nutrition and feed, receive basic training in investigation, analysis, evaluation and design related to animal science, and have the basic ability of animal breeding, reproduction, production and management; The major of Animal Medicine (Veterinary Medicine) focuses on the prevention and treatment of animal diseases, and trains senior scientific and technological talents who have the basic theories, knowledge and skills of animal medicine and can engage in veterinary work, epidemic prevention and quarantine, teaching and scientific research in veterinary business departments, animal production units and relevant departments. Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of basic animal medicine, preventive medicine and clinical medicine, and master the basic abilities of animal health care, clinical diagnosis and treatment, animal epidemic prevention and quarantine and veterinary health management. In addition, related majors include aquaculture, pharmaceutical engineering (veterinary medicine direction), animal and plant quarantine (animal inspection direction) and other majors.

The basic courses of these two majors are the same as the professional basic courses, such as inorganic, organic chemistry, advanced C and politics. Professional basic courses include anatomy, tissue embryo, physiology, biochemistry, immunology, microbiology and so on. Specialized courses in animal science include animal nutrition and feed science, livestock and poultry environmental sanitation and pasture design, animal genetics, animal breeding, animal reproduction, animal production and so on. Specialized courses in animal medicine include pathology, clinical diagnosis, pharmacology, surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics, surgery, animal health law and so on.

Many schools offer animal husbandry and veterinary majors, and I think the ranking of this major is of little significance. China Agricultural University and Nanjing Agricultural University are the best in China, and Northwest A&F University and Huazhong Agricultural University are also very strong. Each province has its own provincial agricultural college. These provincial agricultural colleges have the same strength, but they also have their own strong disciplines. For example, the direction of preventive veterinary medicine in Yangzhou University is good, and you can choose a school according to the test results.

As for the employment prospects, I think it is still good. Objectively speaking, the employment rate is high, but most of the workplaces are not in big cities. Generally, undergraduate graduates are more engaged in sales work, and these work objects are naturally in the vast rural areas. I'm afraid the idea of working in the city is difficult to realize. Employment is very wide, and some biological products companies can also enter. If you are interested in clinical veterinarians, you can also open your own pet hospital. It can be said that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will succeed! Liu Yonghao started from buying feed!

I don't think there are many professional skills. If you like biology, are willing to deal with animals, dare to take root at the grassroots level, or like scientific research, you can consider applying for this major!
