1, national concern. China is a big agricultural country, and the Party and government are very concerned about agriculture, rural areas and farmers. The prosperity of China is inseparable from the development of rural areas, and vigorously developing animal husbandry is one of the three major outlets in rural areas. The development of animal husbandry can drive the processing industry, promote planting and solve the employment of rural labor force.
2. The improvement of living standard is inseparable from the development of animal husbandry. With the deepening of reform and opening up and the continuous improvement of people's lives, people's demand for livestock products such as meat, eggs and milk will continue to increase. To develop animal husbandry, meet the people's growing demand for animal products, improve the production level and economic benefits of animal husbandry, and ensure the safety and hygiene of animal products, a large number of animal science professionals are needed.
3. Joining WTO has brought new opportunities to the development of animal husbandry. The price advantage of beef and mutton in China is obvious, and the price is less than half that of developed countries. China's rural labor force is cheap, and the segmentation and processing advantages of livestock products such as broilers are obvious, which not only solves the employment problem but also improves the added value of products. China's entry into WTO will promote the development of animal husbandry.
4. Livestock and poultry diseases are ever-changing and need solid professional knowledge. Animal husbandry technology has developed rapidly. In the final analysis, only through the formal study of animal science can we master the growth and development law of livestock and poultry and the mechanism of disease occurrence, diagnosis and treatment, and respond to the technical needs of changeable diseases with solid professional basic knowledge.
5. Animal products are closely related to human health, and industry management needs professional knowledge. The residue of toxic and harmful substances in livestock products has attracted great attention of the party and government. At present, the production and operation of veterinary drugs and feed have been managed by the industry. The next step will be the same as human doctors. Employees who don't have a professional degree in animal science can't engage in this profession. Seize the opportunity, strive for initiative, learn early and benefit early.
6. Good employment. To learn animal husbandry and veterinary technology well, you can be a regional manager in a large-scale foreign-funded veterinary drug feed enterprise, a technical director in a large-scale breeding factory, a technical expert in the veterinary drug feed marketing department, engage in farming by yourself, run the veterinary drug feed marketing department and veterinary clinic by yourself, and be your own boss. Learning animal husbandry and veterinary medicine does not worry about distribution, eating and employment.
