01-0003-01 a new century - the 21st century is coming It is a good time to show the great achievements of the 50 years since the founding of the people's Republic of China and usher in the historic moment when people of all ethnic groups are full of hope for the future The 21st century will undoubtedly be an important period of development in China's history According to the central plan, by the middle of the 21st century, China will reach the level of medium developed countries In the four aspects that best reflect the level of development, namely, consumption demand, living standard, education level, health care and so on, will be basically consistent with developed countries, and the gap with developed countries will be greatly shortened; meanwhile, international exchanges in science, education, culture, health and other aspects will be more frequent, and basically at the same level At the same time, the Central Committee pointed out that the key to achieve this goal is to achieve two changes of strategic and overall significance in 2010, namely, the transformation of economic system from planned economy to socialist market economy, and the transformation of economic growth mode from extensive to intensive After the founding of new China in the 20th century, veterinary science in China has experienced 50 years of gratifying development In the coming 21st century, veterinary science will usher in new development opportunities with the realization of two transformations, social, economic and cultural progress, and changes in population structure, cultural education, spiritual civilization, ideology, psychological status, as well as ecological and social environment The relationship between veterinarian and animal husbandry, veterinarian and medicine, veterinarian and biology, veterinarian and environment, veterinarian and society has changed historically Veterinary science will adjust and develop itself in the new relationship model in twenty-first Century to adapt to the needs of social development and establish its social status A veterinary and veterinary science, which is in line with the world level and serves the intensive animal husbandry in the 21st century, the exploration of life mysteries and the human society, will appear in China in the 21st century The development of animal husbandry can not be separated from the escort of veterinary science The early animal husbandry was only a kind of household sideline, which could not be said to be of any scale The service of veterinarian also focused on individual animals With the expansion of production scale, the impact of herd disease on animal production is more and more great, so the prevention and control of infectious diseases and parasitic diseases of livestock and poultry are paid more and more attention In order to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases and group diseases, Chinese veterinary research institutions and universities have spent a lot of money and manpower to develop various vaccines and drug additives, which play a very good role in preventing the occurrence of infectious diseases and group diseases and ensuring the sustainable development of animal husbandry It is the guiding ideology and main content of modern veterinary science in our country to serve animal husbandry production from treating sick animals, preventing animal groups, to putting prevention first and putting prevention above treatment Under the guidance of this thought, although the prevention and treatment of diseases reduce the harm of some animal infectious diseases and the loss of animal production, it is far from the requirements of veterinary health and epidemic prevention to control and eliminate important animal infectious diseases Facing the development of animal husbandry in the 21st century, it is an important task for Veterinary Science in the 21st century to make the animal products of our country go to the world, to improve the comprehensive ability of animal epidemic prevention, to control and eliminate the occurrence of important animal infectious diseases, and to prevent the drug residues harmful to human health Therefore, veterinary science should be strengthened in the research of etiology and aetiology, pathology and pathogenesis, comprehensive prevention and control of infectious diseases, including administrative law In the 21st century, a breakthrough should be made in the understanding and measures of comprehensive prevention and control of animal epidemics In the 21st century, the animal husbandry enterprise is an intensive animal husbandry, which aims to pursue the maximum profit The veterinary service of intensive animal husbandry should also obey the principle of intensive management The so-called intensive management refers to a production management mode that adopts modern management methods and the latest science and technology, strengthens division of labor and cooperation, and improves the use efficiency of funds and resources from all aspects of animal husbandry production to achieve the maximum economic benefits In this management mode, veterinarian is not only the protector of animal health, but also the creator of animal husbandry benefits, because in the intensive animal husbandry concept of animal health, health is not only relative to diseases of clinical significance, but also refers to chronic and subclinical diseases with higher biology to achieve Intensive animal husbandry enterprises apply the latest animal husbandry technology, such as breeding, nutrition and reproduction, to production to improve the performance of animal production and obtain profits Under certain capital investment and reasonable management conditions, the economic benefits of enterprises depend on whether they can achieve the predetermined production performance indicators, which is closely related to the veterinary work to ensure the health of animals, eliminate the chronic and subclinical diseases of animals, and achieve the predetermined production performance Today, the veterinary science serving for animal husbandry is going through the third stage of development, from the early individual veterinary science facing individual animals, to the Preventive Veterinary Science for preventing infectious diseases and other group diseases after large-scale breeding, to the group Veterinary Science in the third stage Group veterinary medicine serves for intensive animal husbandry and has higher production performance, so as to obtain the maximum economic benefits Therefore, veterinarians should know their responsibility and position in the intensive animal husbandry in the future In addition to doing well in the treatment and prevention of diseases, they should also face the group's health, that is, the higher production performance of the group, and do well in animal health care for improving the economic benefits of the enterprise Veterinary science serves for the exploration of life mysteries because of the complexity of its research object, and the problems it has to solve, such as medicine, agriculture, animal husbandry, resources, environment, ecology and so on, are all important problems that need to be solved urgently in human society, so it has been paid attention by governments and scientific and technological circles of all countries Many countries have invested a lot of money in this field, and the concentration of talents and the division and integration of disciplines have made the life science in the 20th century develop rapidly The discovery of DNA double helix structure and the decoding of genetic code gave birth to a new subject molecular biology, which soon penetrated into life science, biomedicine, veterinary science, agriculture and animal husbandry and other fields The breakthrough of theory leads to a leap in technology DNA recombination technology gave birth to genetic engineering, monoclonal technology to cell engineering, enzyme engineering and other biotechnology, which set life science and biomedicine on a new milestone in the 20th century We believe that the accumulation of knowledge and technology is pregnant with a major breakthrough in life science and biomedicine in the 21st century Many scientists predict and even conclude that the 21st century will be a new century of life science The development of life science will not only bring a series of new changes to medicine, but also to veterinary science, environmental science, biology, agriculture, animal husbandry, environmental protection, etc., which will greatly promote the development of science and technology, economy and society Veterinary medicine, which takes animals as the research object, is an integral part of biomedicine and an important matrix of life science research Veterinary medicine has its own characteristics and advantages in medical research, which will contribute to the overall development of biomedicine At the time of great turbulence and integration of the current disciplinary system, how can veterinary science adapt to the trend of integration of science and technology, together with other disciplines, shoulder the task of exploring the mysteries of life science in the 21st century, which is another major issue in front of Veterinary Science in the 21st century 3 veterinary science for the whole society With the coming of the 21st century and the further improvement of human spiritual civilization and material civilization, the relationship between human and nature, the relationship between human and animals will inevitably change a lot; returning to simplicity, returning to nature, protecting wild animals, green food, protecting the environment, refusing to pollute, loving dedication, keeping pets, etc will become a fashion, which will make the Veterinary Science in China in the 21st century Capacity changes At that time, people's quality was high Keeping pets was not a luxury in life, but a need of spiritual civilization, which was the trend of social development This requires many high-level veterinarians and well-equipped animal hospitals On the one hand, they serve for the health of livestock and poultry in animal husbandry enterprises, and also for the family that keeps pets Veterinarians have become an indispensable service industry for both communities and animal husbandry enterprises Animal and human society have such close relationship, and animal diseases have such close relationship with human society, and animal diseases have direct or indirect relationship with human health, which makes veterinary science become an important science which has close relationship with social development, ecological environment and human physical and mental health and serves the whole society In this sense, the development of Veterinary Science in the 21st century is also an inevitable reflection of social progress The relationship between veterinary industry and human society is so close that it penetrates into all aspects of social life There are veterinarians serving for animal husbandry enterprises, community family pets, environmental protection and ecological balance, medical research and exploration of life mysteries, as well as the exercise of authority for food health law enforcement and people's health on behalf of the state At that time, veterinary science will be understood and valued by the society, and the position of veterinarians in society will be confirmed A developing veterinarian and veterinary science serving the whole society will show up in front of Chinese people in the 21st century China feed industry information network QA6 (author:)
