¿Are the colombian zootechnics and veterinary sciences prepare for the future?: A vision from Colombia
Journal Title: Revista MVZ Cordoba - Year 2012, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
A review of the Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics is done aiming to understand their significance and performance in the current and future society, with main focus in the Colombian reality. The review shows the competences and responsibilities that these sciences have in diverse sectors such as the environmental, social and health, area, and not just in agriculture. The environmental crisis and the dynamics of the modern world have created new needs that represent a great opportunity for the Veterinary sciences and Zootechnics, if they can respond to new challenges and make use of their natural role in the sectors that now are of their competence. Their institutionally and hegemony will depend on their adaptation, flexibility and leadership capacity. Therefore, this is pertinent for the Zootechnics and Veterinary sciences to perform a collective disciplinary prospection to understand new challenges and prepare for the future.
