in this developing country, people are engaging in agriculture and animal husbandry with the dream to earn money in their own country. People are learning and involved in the commercial farming of animals. In current years, many people are engaging in animal husbandry. With increasing the number of people engaging in animal husbandry, there is a need for more veterinarians. In this present context, there is less number of veterinary doctors in Nepal. So, there is no shortage of job of veterinary doctors in Nepal in many aspects.

If boilers die of any disease in large numbers then, the farmer calls the veterinary doctor for diagnosing the disease and for preventing it from the transmission to other boilers. The Veterinary doctor also provides essential suggestions for the proper management and nutrition of poultry. In large animal farm, if a farmer brings any cattle from another region of the country the animals get examined by a veterinarian before keeping inside the farm, or if it is suffered from any disease then, animals are kept in isolation (at different places without any contact with healthy animals)

Nowadays, focusing on the commercial production of a large number of animals people are using artificial insemination for breeding purposes. Artificial insemination is the injecting of male sperm into the body of a female without mating. For this process, veterinary doctors are required. If there is a risk in artificial insemination then, veterinary doctors deny the process. A veterinary Gynecologist specifies the reproductive purpose of the animal. Gynecologists are very important in large farms.

For the job, one should give the exam of Lok sewa, and after passing the exam; the post can be in our hands. The post has a good salary with many facilities such as accommodation, a vehicle, etc. If a veterinary doctor wants to study further then, the government sends the person to study wherever he wants, maybe in the country or abroad. Also, in the study period, he can get the salary of his post. As there is an animal office in each district and there is less number of veterinarians in Nepal by which there is more chance of getting the job.

In the tax office, there is also a need for a veterinarian. A veterinarian checks the health condition of an animal that is being exported and imported. Without the approval of a veterinary doctor, animals can’t cross the border. If the veterinarian finds any health problem in the animal then he should reject the animal because through the infected animal, the disease can be transferred to another animal as well human. If an animal needs dehorning (removal of horn) or deworming (removal of worm) then, the veterinarian can perform such an act.

Also, in the airport, there is a need for a qualified veterinarian. Through the air, improved breeds of many animals are being imported, so veterinarians must check their health. If any foreigner brings his pet to Nepal then, the veterinarian properly checks the health condition of the animal and keeps the record.

4. Zoo;

For diagnoses and treatment of a diseased animal, it is important to hire a veterinary doctor by the people. Also, the Veterinary doctor advises for proper care and management of animals. Today, veterinarians work with captive (Zoo) animals to prevent or treat diseases that threatened species’ survival. As most diseases are associated with increasing human footprint.

Along with health care provided to the captive animal, veterinarians have several roles in situ conservation projects which ensure the maintenance of the healthy and viable population of the zoo. In the zoo, a veterinarian provides preventive and therapeutic medicine for captive animals ensuring that captive zoo animals have proper health which is essential if their reproductive and educational value for species conservation is to be maintained.

Zoo veterinarians have efforts in minimizing the need for treatment of an individual animal by decreasing the transmission of parasitic and infectious agents. A veterinarian can ensure the successful propagation of the population of animals on a scale greater than any zoo can provide by providing preventive medicines for species that undergo an increasing number of inter-zoo loans and movements.

The veterinary doctor is required to nutrition, disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease i.e. vaccination. In the zoo, the veterinary doctor has good earnings.

5. Animal product processing;

The veterinarian has a great scope in animal product processing such as milk, meat, and wool processing. In milk processing, the veterinarian checks for any bovine diseases and also other diseases which can be transferred to a human. As bovine tuberculosis is transferred from animal to human.

During meat processing, the veterinarian checks for any diseases in animals and also parasitic infections. There are many meat, milk, and wool processing industries in Nepal which compulsory need a veterinarian for the production of quality animal products. In meat processing, veterinarians should undergo laboratory analysis and should check the microbial actions. Veterinarian is also responsible for the registration of the enterprise.

Also, Nepal Government and many national and international organizations are working on the conservation of animals by enhancing better performance. So, in the five years duration of a Bachelor in veterinary science in the last six years, few students of veterinary science are involved in the internship program at the National park and wildlife reserve. In Nepal, veterinarians are working well in the field of wildlife and nature conservation.
