My interests- Veterinary Medicine

Throughout my childhood and soon after when I came into my high school, I always had a sensation that my interest is more towards animals whether they are pets, livestock or working animals, animals matter to individuals and society. Veterinary focus on preventing, diagnosing and curing diseases of animal's such as domestic, wild animals and farm animals. Today it is our responsibility for the inspection and sanitary control of food, prevention of zoonoses. The professional who implements this science is called a veterinarian. My research during the high school enhances my interest and inspired me to enter in the Veterinary medicine profession (www1.vetmed.lsu.edu).

To be part of national FFA member is dream of my life. In this organization the application of the principles of medicine, the diagnosis and treatment to all animals: pets, exotic pets (NAC), animals of zoos, wildlife and livestock are much more comprehensive than any other organization. The reason to be the veterinarian by professional is due to horrific health of animals. They have the ability to respond and seek comprehensive care of the various animal species including food, medical and surgical treatment, breeding, reproduction and production.

Special attention is given to livestock sanitation programs, control of wild animals and pets and prevention and control of animal diseases, especially those transmissible to humans (healthcareers.umn.edu).

The functions that can perform these professionals may emphasize the observation, interpretation and diagnosis of the condition of the animals, improving the performance animal and livestock production, monitor the manufacture and circulation of foodstuffs of animal origin human consumption, analyze the behavior of animals, research and teaching.

My future plans to be a pre vet major in college as this science helps safeguard human health by monitoring the health of pets and wildlife. Emerging zoonoses require expertise in epidemiology and control of infectious diseases is particularly present in the focus of veterinary science. Veterinary Public Health has two priorities. On the one hand, the management of health programs responsible for ensuring food safety. On the other hand, includes the study of zoonoses through sub-disciplines such as conservation medicine. Based on the fact that 60% of animal diseases are zoonotic and 75% are of ...
