Examining Animal Figures in Turkish Mythology in Terms of Veterinary Medicine History

Turks have believed in many religions/beliefs in a long historical process. Among these religions/beliefs, the belief in Shamanism/Sky God has been a priority. This belief, which places nature in its centre, has significantly affected the life and philosophy of life of the Turks. Animals have found their place in the mythology, culture, art, concept of time, literature, and many other subjects of the Turks. The Turks attributed holiness to the horse, the eagle, the deer, and many other animals, especially wolves, and placed them at the centre of their lives. In this study, various important animals for the Turks are discussed in the context of Turkish Mythology and culture; besides the characteristics of the animals, the Turkish Calendar with Twelve Animals and the animals mentioned in the main Turkish Legends (Legend of the Creation, Legend of the Origins, Legend of Oğuz Kağan, Legend of Şu, Legend of Alp Er Tunga, Legend of Satuk Buğra Han) were examined and their importance in terms of the place of animals in the lives of the Turks and the history of veterinary medicine was emphasized.

A Study on Prof. Dr. Osman Kaya's Life and Scientific Studies

Biography studies are also included in the research studies in the history of veterinary medicine.
 It is very valuable in terms of the formation of the history of the profession that people who are known for their contributions to the veterinary medicine profession in the process they live in are written down and presented in a tidy article. Many biographical books (Berkman, 1945; Erk and Dinçer, 1945; Sinmez and Yaşar 2011) and articles (Yaşar 1997; Yaşar 1998a, 1998b; Yaşar et al.,2010; Sinmez et al., 2012; Yaşar et al., 2020) have been published due to the fact that it has an important and valuable place in Veterinary History research. Similarly, it seems that it has become a tradition to write biographies of faculty members who retired or died in order to establish the history of Aydın Adnan Menderes University Veterinary Faculty (Arslan, 1999; Arslan, 2004; Arslan, 2008a, 2008b).
 In this respect, who carries out his academic and scientific studies in Aydın Adnan Menderes University Veterinary Faculty Microbiology Department and contributes to the training of many scientists in his field writing the biography of Prof. Dr. Osman Kaya is also seen as an important debt of loyalty for the history of the profession.
 Osman Kaya, who provided not only academic contributions but also support and services at the point of development and structuring of the university, also served as the Vice Rector of Aydın Adnan Menderes University. While carrying out his academic and administrative duties, Kaya could not get rid of his cancer disease, which was still under treatment, and was sent off on his last journey on February 03, 2017.
 The aim of this study is to the "national and international studies", and "academic and administrative duties" carried out in the veterinary microbiology discipline to reveal Prof. Dr. Osman Kaya's contributions to the history of science and the world of science. In addition to this, it also to contribute in terms of bibliography by giving the works in an orderly and collective way.

The beginning of veterinary surgery education in Turkey and the historical development of this discipline in Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine

Research on the history of the fields of science has special meanings and importance in the history of veterinary medicine. Various studies are carried out on this subject, both at the level of scientific articles and at the level of large-scale doctorate. In this article, the beginning of the veterinary surgery field in Turkey and its historical development in Ankara University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, which is the oldest faculty, are discussed. The main material of the study was the first-hand archival resources provided by the Rectorate, Dean's Office and Departments of Ankara University, and information was collected by making face-to-face and telephone interviews with the academicians of the field. Various books and journals related to the subject were also used. The data obtained were evaluated within the framework of the historical methodology and were written down chronologically. The processes of the modern surgery education, which started with the Prussian Veterinarian Godlewsky in the Ottoman period, continued within the Higher Agricultural Institute and later Ankara University in the post-Republican period, the changes in the structure of the department with the changes in the university laws, the educational status, the academic stages and the number of publications until April 2022 of faculty members have been determined. The data obtained can shed light on the evaluations to be made in this field. As a result, it has been tried to present a well-coordinated source on the history of the field. The inclusion of detailed data on the surgical units of all veterinary faculties in Turkey would enable the holistic determination of the quality of surgery in veterinary medicine.

From the history of veterinary medicine in Mexico

Based on published materials and archived data of the history of veterinary medicine in Mexico, there are presented the historical milestones of the development of veterinary medicine in the country and the prerequisites for the development of the veterinary school of Mexico, there are indicated the origin of state veterinary control. And also on a distinct example from the history of veterinary medicine, the role and importance of veterinary medicine in ensuring biological safety, in reducing and stopping emerging epizootics are shown. The problem of pressure of Mexico by other countries and other aspects of their relations in area of agriculture are indicated. The article shows the struggle of veterinary scientists with the political system of the country, their irrepressible craving for the development of discipline, which led to the formation of modern veterinary medicine in Mexico, as well as the path that the country has taken to ensure its biological well-being and food security.

Cattle Plague and Society

This article presents the findings of a study showing that rinderpest and anthrax were rife among cattle in eighteenth century Sweden and Finland. These diseases, which caused a widespread loss of animals, were the scourge of owners, medical practitioners and the authorities alike. The study also shows that the epizootic legislation and disease control that evolved at government level was influenced by the particular characteristics of rinderpest and anthrax. Previous research has identified the endemic nature of rinderpest and its far-reaching consequences for society. Yet major outbreaks of anthrax, and the degree to which the disease influenced the development of State epizootic control, were previously unknown. The study uses the perspectives of cultural history and the history of veterinary medicine, a wide range of historical sources, and a method of text analysis for making retrospective diagnoses.
 In this article the findings are compared with the results of studies of eighteenth century cattle disease and epizootic control in other European countries. Similarities and differences in theoretical perspectives and research methods are identified. Here the use of retrospective diagnosis in the history of veterinary medicine is discussed in particular.

Historical and modern features of veterinary service in subfederal entities of the North Caucasian and the Southern federal districts

History of veterinary medicine in Russia in all its aspects (municipal, military, professional veterinary, etc.) has been circumstantially studied and is presented in textbooks, monographs and thesis. However, the history of municipal veterinary medicine has been studied and the materials of all-Russian congresses of veterinarians, held in the early twentieth century and the landmarks of veterinary medicine history in Russia and its sub-federal entities in the period between ancient time and nowadays has been synthesized. Items on epizootic situation of the country and its sub-federal entities on extra hazardous diseases, on prevention and elimination measures; legal regulation of veterinary management ; staff requirements for official veterinary, training of veterinarians and veterinary aid men, forms of organization of the veterinary service; state, municipal, military, private veterinary services are available in literary origins. Unfortunately, the historical and modern features of the veterinary service in certain federal districts of Russia, including the North Caucasus and southern districts, are not generalized. The analysis and determination of such features is important for scientifically-reasonable planning of anti-epizootic measures, composing national targets for veterinary institutions, determining the amount of budget funding for performing national targets, establishing a scientifically-reasonable staff number of veterinary services, improving veterinary servicing of livestock and other branches. Article points out the historical and modern features of the veterinary service of the North Caucasus and Southern federal districts, which have peculiar environment and economic conditions for the development of agriculture, including animal husbandry, and therefore veterinary support for agricultural industries.

The role of the colleges of veterinary medicine in realizing the research mission of land-grant institutions to promote animal, human, and environmental health

Views: Commentary 869 T period from 2011 to 2013 marks a convergence of milestone anniversaries for three major events important in the history of veterinary medicine in the United States and the world. In 2011, the veterinary profession celebrated the 250th anniversary of the founding of the first veterinary school in Lyon, France, in 1761 by the French veterinarian Claude Bourgelat. The school was commissioned by King Louis XV to promote the prevention of cattle diseases, most notably cattle plague (rinderpest), a disease that caused widespread deaths of cattle and famine for hundreds of years until its eradication in 2011. In the United States, 2012 marks the 150th anniversary of land-grant institutions, which were established by the Morrill Act of 1862. The Morrill Act of 1862 granted to each state 30,000 acres of federally controlled land for each of its congressional representatives, with the stipulation that the states develop the land or use the funds from the sale of the land to establish a land-grant college to promote liberal and practical education in agriculture, military tactics, and the mechanical arts. Congress enacted and President Lincoln signed the Morrill Act of 1862 in response to the needs of the industrial revolution and to make education accessible to the working class. In each state, the land-grant institution became known as the people’s university and, in most instances, evolved into the state’s flagship university and was considered the state’s leading comprehensive public research institution. Lastly, the AVMA was first established as the United States Veterinary Medical Association in 1863, and 2013 marks its 150th anniversary. Many have written about land-grant institutions and their role in educating the citizenry of the United States, but we intend to highlight the research mission of these institutions, particularly the role that the colleges of veterinary medicine at these institutions have played in the advancement of science and how they have and can continue to have a positive impact on animal, human, and environmental health. This year, 2012, marks the midpoint of these three anniversary celebrations and should serve as an opportunity for the colleges of veterinary medicine and the veterinary The role of the colleges of veterinary medicine in realizing the research mission of land-grant institutions to promote animal, human, and environmental health

The history of veterinary medicine in Namibia

Until the middle of the 19th century, very few references exist regarding the occurrence of animal diseases in Namibia. With the introduction of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in 1859, this picture changed completely and livestock owners implemented various forms of disease control in an effort to contain the spread of this disease and minimise its devastating effects. After the establishment of the colonial administration in 1884, the first animal disease legislation was introduced in 1887 and the first veterinarian, Dr Wilhelm Rickmann, arrived in 1894. CBPP and the outbreak of rinderpest in 1897 necessitated a greatly expanded veterinary infrastructure and the first veterinary laboratory was erected at Gammams near Windhoek in 1897. To prevent the spread of rinderpest, a veterinary cordon line was established, which was the very beginning of the Veterinary Cordon Fence as it is known today. After the First World War, a small but dedicated corps of veterinarians again built up an efficient animal health service in the following decades, with veterinary private practice developing from the mid-1950s. The veterinary profession organised itself in 1947 in the form of a veterinary association and, in 1984, legislation was passed to regulate the veterinary profession by the establishment of the Veterinary Council of Namibia. The outbreak of foot and mouth disease in 1961 was instrumental in the creation of an effective veterinary service, meeting international veterinary standards of quality and performance which are still maintained today.

Healing the Herds: Disease, Livestock Economies, and the Globalization of Veterinary Medicine

This book, based on a 2005 Oxford conference, is a groundbreaking set of essays about the history of veterinary medicine in the context of colonial pastoralism, ca. 1700–2000. Major themes include the following: the ways that animal health has been addressed by European and Asian colonizers (but not so much the colonized); the development of health-care institutions for animals; veterinary professionalization; the contributions of animal health care to the colonizing project; what happened when Western-origin domesticated animals arrived in new places; and environment and disease as determinants of agricultural production and practices. Many of the essays describe the professionalization of veterinary medical institutions. The volume begins with the essays of historians who lay a substantial foundation of case studies from the West (The Netherlands, Britain, Germany, and the United States)—thus examining the colonizers’ context. Peter Koolmees argues that state control and international trade interests dominated domestic Dutch veterinary health policies; Ann N. Greene places the development of an American veterinary institution within horse culture while Abigail Woods argues for a shift to cattle culture and technological expertise in British veterinary medicine by the mid-twentieth century. Dominick Hünniger's analysis of German rinderpest control (the emblematic nineteenth-century cattle disease) bridges the gap between veterinary professionalization and the theme of state control of animal health and disease (and also provides a welcome focus on the earlier period covered here, the eighteenth century).

Review of "Healing the Herds: Disease, Livestock Economies, and the Globalization of Veterinary Medicine" edited by Karen Brown and Daniel Gilfoyle

Review Through a series of 14 case studies, this multi-authored book examines the history of veterinary medicine and, particularly, the emergence of veterinary services and disease control programs in relation to livestock trade. For the case studies covering China, Australia, and New Zealand, and selected countries in South East Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, the focus is the colonial era up to the early 1960s or earlier. The case studies often show how advances in veterinary science from the late nineteenth century and technologies such as vaccines enabled large-scale disease control or eradication programs. For countries experiencing these programs for the first time, however, the book proposes that the primary objectives were related to colonial expansion and aims such as the protection of livestock on colonial farms, export trade and, at times, to support the appropriation of land. Only three of the case studies in the book deal with veterinary-related topics in pastoralist areas in Australia and Kenya (two chapters). David Anderson’s chapter on livestock marketing and colonial ambitions, between 1918 and 1948, clearly lays out the broader economic context within which livestock disease control programs were designed and implemented at that time. This chapter also presents a good overview of debates around overstocking and compulsory and voluntary destocking. The chapter by Lotte Hughes describes the forced displacement of Maasai communities from land that was thought to have a lower risk of East Coast fever and therefore was the preferred land for settler cattle. The common theme in these three chapters is the tension between the differing priorities of local herd owners, and those of governments and state veterinary services, and the imposition of disease control strategies often by force. A fourth chapter by Saverio Kratli deals with the history of cattle Catley Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice 2011, 1:12 http://www.pastoralismjournal.com/content/1/1/12

Forty years of monensin for the control of coccidiosis in poultry

In July 1971, the polyether ionophorous antibiotic monensin was introduced in the United States for the control of coccidiosis in poultry. At that time, prospects for new anticoccidial agents were not good. Amprolium had enjoyed several years of use, but many other compounds had been abandoned as resistance to them developed. After the introduction of monensin, most commercial broilers were medicated with the drug and it is still widely used for this purpose today. Apart from in poultry, monensin is also used to control coccidiosis in game birds, sheep, and cattle. Indeed, more animals have been medicated with ionophores, such as monensin, for control of disease than any other medicinal agents in the history of veterinary medicine. In this review, we discuss the discovery, mode of action, and efficacy of monensin, together with matters of importance to the poultry industry such as commercial use, drug resistance, toxicity, pharmacology and residues, host immunity to coccidiosis, and effects in other avian species.

Food Animal Veterinarians: Where We Came From and Where We Might Go

The history of veterinary medicine has been one of growth and adaptation to the needs of society. Today, the discipline relating to food animals is being challenged by various forces ranging from projected shortages of qualified personnel, to economic challenges and deficiencies in training future graduates. Despite these challenges, veterinarians interested in working with food animals have tremendous opportunities. Combining current interests and attention with a well-planned vision to...

ER Vets: Life in an Animal Emergency Room (review)

Reviewed by: ER Vets: Life in an Animal Emergency Room Deborah Stevenson Jackson, Donna M. ER Vets: Life in an Animal Emergency Room. Houghton, 2005 [96p] illus. with photographs ISBN 0-618-43663-4$17.00 Reviewed from galleys R Gr. 4-7 Going ER one better by making the patients cute and fuzzy, ER Vets focuses on the state-of-the-art emergency vet clinic at Colorado State University. The book provides some information about the history of veterinary medicine in general and some of these hospital staffers in particular, but the main stories here are those of the animals. Jackson, who researched on-site at the hospital and took most of the book's photographs herself, intersperses accounts of specific cases—a dog hit by a car, a foal with oxygen deprivation, a hypothermic snake—with discussion of emergency-room veterinary care in general, while sidebars provide information about topics such as common emergency-room abbreviations and human foods with devastating pet consequences. Though the non-linear organization makes this more a detailed scrapbook than a narrative (and the important issue of cost is never touched upon), the book makes effective use of its exciting and inviting material, making clear that the high-pressure, wildly varied work in the emergency room is indeed a specialization that requires particular abilities as well as interest in animals. The pictures are key in this photodocumentary, and while the setting sometimes limits photographic options, the images are informative and affecting; reproduced x-rays and 'scope pictures add crucial internal views and familiarize readers with the vets' own tools. The heavily visual layout is occasionally a little overbusy, but the captions and chapter titles keep text chunks easily manageable. This will be an easy sell to animal lovers of various reading levels, and they may also get some ideas about future career options. Extensive end matter includes a list of suggested reading, relevant websites, a glossary, source notes, and an index. Copyright © 2005 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois

From the Marshall plan to present day prosperity: veterinary medicine in The Netherlands 1945-2000.

For a long time,veterinarians used to do their work rather inconspicuously.The inner circle of the veterinary world was virtually unknown to the public. However, due to the recent outbreaks of BSE and swine fever and the changing human-animal relationships, public attention is increasingly being focused on veterinary medicine.The public interest in the profession has also grown due to the increasingly important role that animals play in present-day western society (Fogle,1999).Along with this growing public interest in veterinary medicine, the concern for the societal responsibilities, position and image of veterinarians has also increased. Throughout the past two decades, the veterinary profession has become the subject of study for several other disciplines (Lawrence,1991; Swabe,1999).Inevitably,these studies also focus on the long-term development of veterinary sciences, the veterinary profession and policy, veterinary traditions, and thus also the history of veterinary medicine. As an integral part of the history of sciences, veterinary medicine has thus far only received limited attention.Veterinary history studies have predominantly focused on institutional history and biographies (Brumme, 1997; Brumme and Schaffer, 1993), while these were often written to provide a functionalist account of veterinary professionalisation. Recently, more attention has been paid to the social and political history of veterinary medicine (Brumme and von Mickwitz, 1997; Fisher, 1998; Schaffer, 1998). In this paper, the development of Dutch veterinary medicine in the second half of the twentieth century will be explored. During this period, the Netherlands developed to a modern welfare state.The history of veterinary medicine will be examined within that societal context.The issues of post-war reconstruction, restoration and growth of livestock production, veterinary public health, differentiation and specialisation, faculty and education, and feminisation of the profession will be dealt with respectively.
