Features: Veterinary Public Health is an interdisciplinary applied discipline that utilizes all theoretical knowledge, practical activities, and material resources related to human and animal health issues. It studies the relationship between ecological balance, environmental pollution, zoonoses, food safety of animal products, comparative medicine of experimental animals, and the connection between modern biotechnology and human health, thereby serving the cause of human health. It emerged in an era of high social civilization, advanced medicine and veterinary medicine, while the deterioration of the ecological environment, as well as increasingly severe threats to human health from water and food pollution, created a strong desire for people to live in clean environments, breathe fresh air, drink clean water, and consume safe and reliable food. Although it is a relatively young discipline, like all new things, it possesses strong vitality and development potential, thus holding broad prospects for future growth.
