The term "large animal medicine" refers to the practice of veterinary medicine that focuses on the care and treatment of large animals, such as horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and other farm animals. This field of veterinary medicine requires specialized knowledge and skills in handling, diagnosing, and treating diseases and injuries in these larger animals. Veterinarians who practice large animal medicine must have a strong understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and behavior of different species of farm animals, as well as their specific health needs and conditions. They may work on farms or ranches, in veterinary clinics that specialize in large animal care, or provide mobile services to treat animals on site. The goal of large animal medicine is to promote the health and well-being of these animals, ensuring they receive proper medical attention and care to maintain their overall health and productivity.
