Material Detail

A major thesis of this book is that this very lack of a veterinary service compounded problems once the veterinary profession began to take shape. The deceptively apparent immunity of animals to disease for a century or more - occasioned in part by lack of numbers - beclouded men's minds into believing that animals could continue to thrive without much attention - until long after the great animal plagues threatened the very existence of the burgeoning livestock industry.

The second part of the book deals with the development of the veterinary profession in America, together with some consideration of the interplay of other agencies in this development.
