Veterinary Degrees Online

Animal industry science consists of the basic studies of industrial animals including livestock
and their application and the study of how they are related with social environments.
Specialized courses comprise Division of Animal Business Management and Informatives where students learn and study various phases of food production, consumption promotion, and preservation of environments; Division of Nature Management and Agricultural Economics whose major concern is the collaboration and coexistence between urban consumptive areas and rural productive areas; Division of Animal Nutrition whose major concern is about what kinds of grass are effective to herbivorous animals and to what extent, the utility of microorganisms, the improvement of chicken eggs. etc.; Division of Animal Physiology where investigations are carried out on such topics as the mechanism of chicken’s blood production, the relationship between the protein metabolism and the efficient production of chicken; Division of Animal Breeding and Reproduction where they study how to improve the quality of milk, and how it is inherited, and the mechanism of embryo and the possibility of its human manipulation; Division of Animal Biochemistry where they investigate, for example, how micronutrients work on the flesh of herbivorous animals.

Depending on the experience of natural regionalization of Lato Sensu postgraduate-level expertise, the Center for Science Agroveterinárias University of Santa Catarina State, through the course of Veterinary Medicine, we bring together the critical mass of researchers who had been developing research projects alone, in the master program with different lines of research, whereas the courses of Veterinary Medicine, the state of Santa Catarina no post-graduate course in strict sense.
The proposal referred for evaluation of CAPES was approved in November 2002 with the first entering class in March 2003. The course originally had five lines of research, called: 1) epidemiology, diagnosis and control of parasites, 2) Veterinary Pathology, 3) Food, production, and animal behavior, 4) Improvement and animal breeding, and 5) Study of bacterial diseases and Viral of the animals. The growth and maturity Course and an indication of consultants from CAPES, determined a new direction, with criteria for accreditation of teacher mentors, creating two areas of concentration, the reduction from five to four lines of search, now with more support and the opening of the course for professionals from other areas related to Agricultural Sciences and related areas, enabling the venting, providing greater integration and multidisciplinary, current trend in post-graduate, both in Brazil and the world . Thus, in April 2007 the course has called Animal Science.

NEW ACTIVATION

A started in the 2007/08 are activated three distinct lines:
Orientation Acquacoltura
Guidance and breeding biology of the fauna
Orientation of farming technologies.

The study plan of the first year is common to all three guidelines.
Students will choose their orientation at the time of the second year

Career Preparation
There are more than 55,000 veterinarians in the United States. Their
primary responsibility is protecting the health and welfare of animals
and people. Veterinarians diagnose and control animal diseases, treat
sick and injured animals, prevent transmission of animal diseases to
people and advise owners on proper care of pets and livestock. They
ensure a safe food supply by maintaining the health of food animals.
Veterinarians also are involved in wildlife preservation and conservation.
Veterinarians provide a wide variety of services in clinical practice,
teaching, public health, military service, private industry and other
areas. In addition, veterinarians are becoming more involved in
aquaculture, comparative medical research, international disease
control and food production programs.
Academic Program
There are presently 28 schools of veterinary medicine in the United
States, graduating about 2,100 persons a year. With few exceptions,
residents of Missouri need only consider applying to the College
of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Missouri at Columbia.
Students interested in a career in veterinary medicine should have
a strong science, math and biology program in high school. To be
considered for admission to a college of veterinary medicine, a student
must first complete undergraduate pre-veterinary medical course work,
which usually involves three to four years of college study. Completion
of a Pre-Veterinary program does not guarantee admission to a college
of veterinary medicine. Successful applicants usually have grades of “B”
or better, especially in the sciences. The average acceptance rate varies
from year to year but is approximately 45 percent nationally.
Courses
The pre-professional curriculum in veterinary medicine can be
completed at Missouri State. The Pre-Veterinary program is easily
compatible with programs in agriculture, biology and chemistry.
Please consult the Missouri State Catalog online at www.missouristate.
edu/catalog for specific course information.
To apply to the University of Missouri College of Veterinary
Medicine, students must take the following:
English (6 hours may include Writing and Public Speaking)
College Algebra or more advanced math
Inorganic Chemistry- 8 hours
Organic Chemistry- 5 hours
Biochemistry
Physics I and II
Biological Sciences-10 hours
Social Sciences-10 hours
Students should carry full loads of 15 to 17 hours each semester,
so other courses should be chosen to maintain that course load.
Students should check with the veterinary college to which they
plan to apply to be sure they take all required courses.
