Veterinary Science is the science of treating and curing the diverse types of diseases of birds and animals. The basic principles of this specialized branch of study are quite similar to that of human medical sciences. The primary objective of both is the prevention and elimination of maladies and ultimately restoration of the biological organisms to perfect health.

Veterinary science offers a large number of avenues of work. Besides regular practice, vets can also take up research work, either on their own or in association with the government. Opportunities also abound in livestock management.
Several other career options are also open to graduates in veterinary science. With further developments in sciences and technology, more and more avenues are opening up at a rapid pace like never before. Dairy research institutes, large-scale dairy, piggery and poultry farms require the services of not one but several veterinarians.
