Abstract

No other health profession than veterinary medicine must understand the health needs and individual disease states of such a diverse number of animal species. How can the health care of domesticated animals be rapidly improved to provide a reliable food source without the age-old threat of epidemics or severe economic loss to producer groups? Several fruitful areas of investigation may produce the answers to improving the well-being of animals.
