Abstract
Extract
The 1965 Annual Meeting of the New Zealand Veterinary Association endorsed a proposal to examine the future requirement for veterinary manpower in New Zealand. Support was subsequently forthcoming from members of the Association and from organizations interested in veterinary activities in providing data on which estimates could be based. Information was obtained on changes in the numbers of veterinary surgeons and in their employment in the past 15 years and on the estimated requirement for veterinary surgeons at the end of the forthcoming 15 years. A period of 15 years was regarded as one for which records are likely to be reliable and for which projections could be expected to have reasonable accuracy. The examination of data collected in this way forms the first part of this report.
