The role of veterinary surgeons in the dairy, meat and wool industries of New Zealand

Abstract

Extract

You have probably all heard the schoolgirl definition “A veterinarian is an old soldier that eats vegetables.” My only personal quarrel with this definition is that I like a little meat occasionally. This morning I intend to exercise an old soldier's privilege and talk to you about the role of veterinary surgeons in the dairy, meat and wool industries of New Zea1and.
