De caballos y conejos: el primer intento de crear una escuela de veterinaria en Barcelona (1888-1890) / Of horses and rabbits: a first attempt to create a veterinary school in barcelona (1888-1890)

Las primeras escuelas de veterinaria en Europa se establecieron en el siglo XVIII. En España, este proceso se inició en 1793 con la apertura de la escuela de Madrid, seguida de otras instituciones similares fundadas en el siglo XIX. La creación de la primera Facultad de Veterinaria en Cataluña tuvo lugar en 1982. Hasta entonces, la organización en Barcelona de un centro que ofertara esos estudios se había convertido en un tema de interés recurrente. Esta investigación analiza, desde una perspectiva local, el proyecto que se gestó en 1888 para trasladar la escuela de Santiago de Compostela a la capital catalana. La propuesta, que recibió importantes apoyos entre la sociedad civil e instituciones públicas de la ciudad, se caracterizó por el énfasis que puso en una educación que no se focalizara únicamente en los animales grandes. Por primera vez en España, las demandas de la producción animal intensiva, como la avicultura o cunicultura que comenzaban a proliferar en Cataluña, se contemplaron como eje esencial de la formación del veterinario. Una modificación programática de envergadura para una escuela que, por las novedades que introducía, se asoció con el epíteto «modelo» en la documentación examinada.(AU)

The first veterinary schools in Europe were established in the eighteenth century. In Spain, this process began in 1793 with the opening of the Madrid veterinary school, followed by other similar institutions founded in the 19th century. The creation of the first Veterinary Faculty in Catalonia took place in 1982. Until then, the creation of a center that would offer these kind of studies had become a recurring topic of interest in Barcelona. This article analyzes, from a local perspective, the project that was conceived in 1888 to transfer the school from Santiago de Compostela to the Catalan capital. The proposal received strong support from civil society and public institutions in the city. It was characterized by the emphasis it placed on an education that did not focus solely on large animals. For the first time in Spain, the demands of intensive animal production, such as poultry or rabbit farming that were beginning to proliferate in Catalonia, were seen as an essential part of veterinary training. This represented a major programmatic modification for a school that, due to the new features it introduced, was labelled “model” in the documentation examined.(AU)

Historical Surgical Treatments in Polish Veterinary Medicine.

Several methods of surgical treatments have been used in the history of Polish veterinary medicine, many of which have now been forgotten. In the present study, a review was conducted of Polish-language veterinary medicine books published from the 16th century (when the first books in Polish were printed) to the 20th century. The article contains a description of the most popular surgical methods used in animal treatment in Poland over the centuries including, among others, bloodletting, setons, fonticulus and cauterization. This article reviews historical veterinary methods and traces the development of Polish veterinary medicine from ancient cures often based on humoral theory to a modern branch of biologic science.

[Protocol of the Lucerne Section of Swiss Veterinary Association from 5th of June, 1837]. / Verhandlungs-Protokoll des Vereins der Luzerner Thierärzte und Section des schweizerisch thierärztlichen Vereinsangefangen mit 5ten Juni 1837.

INTRODUCTION: In autumn 2015, the book "Protocol of the Veterinary Association of the Canton of Lucerne" was found in the attic a farmhouse in Sempach. The book was missing until this time. It covers the Association activities from 1837-1871. The book origins from the estate of Dr. med. H. c. Peter Knüsel (1857-1954). The transcription of the German Kurrent allows an insight into the protocols and thus into veterinary medicine and health care of the mid-19th century. Besides the Association business, the written reports or oral scientific presentations provide (technical presentations) an interesting insight into the scientific veterinary knowledge of this time.

INTRODUCTION: En automne 2015, un ouvrage intitulé «Protocoles de la Société vétérinaire du canton de Lucerne¼ a été retrouvé dans un grenier à Sempach. Le livre était considéré jusqu'alors comme perdu. Il couvre les activités de la société de 1837 à 1871. Il provient de la succession du Dr. med. h. c. Peter Knüsel (1857-1954). Grâce à la transcription de l'écriture cursive allemande, ces protocoles fournissent un aperçu du secteur vétérinaire et de la santé du milieu du XIXe siècle. Outre les affaires internes de la société, les travaux réalisés par écrit ou oralement (conférences spécialisées) par les vétérinaires fournissent un aperçu intéressant des connaissances vétérinaires de l'époque.

The 'Dog Doctors' of Edwardian London: Elite Canine Veterinary Care in the Early Twentieth Century.

This article offers the first historical account of Edwardian London's elite canine veterinarians. Previous historiography identifies increasing veterinary interest in dogs as a mid-twentieth century phenomenon. Despite tension with the mainstream profession, however, an earlier group of specialist veterinarians provided sophisticated canine medical care to London society. Their activities included the policing and investigation of two key threats to the fashionable and lucrative 'dog fancy': the devastating infectious disease distemper and the issue of 'faking' (show ring cosmetic fraud). This prestigious work gave the canine veterinarians a competitive advantage over their various rivals and enabled the dog fancy to combat the unintended consequences of its own practices on the canine body. This article consequently reveals an early instance of veterinary specialisation, co-driven by client demands and professional politics, and foregrounds the importance of canine biology in the social history of pedigree dog breeding.

Veterinarians at the Connaught Medical Research Laboratories, 1931-72.

This study traces the changing mission of the University of Toronto's Connaught Medical Research Laboratories regarding the health of animals. We argue that the early work of Connaught's veterinarians in the 1930s and 1940s focused on the care for experimental animals as well as lending veterinary knowledge to problems in human medicine and public health. This gave way to a more direct focus on veterinary products after the Second World War. Connaught was motivated to enter the veterinary field in part to capitalize upon the growing market for veterinary medicines. It met with mixed success in this endeavour. Work was initially focused on livestock medicines and later expanded into products for companion animals, reflecting broader shifts in the veterinary profession and the economic value of animals during the 20th century.

Los veterinarios titulares de Jerez de los Caballeros (Badajoz, España) durante el siglo XIX / Professional veterinarians in Jerez de los Caballeros (Badajoz, Spain) during the 19th century / Os veterinários titulares de Jerez de los Caballeros (Badajoz, Espanha) durante o século XIX

Los veterinarios recibieron diferentes denominaciones a lo largo del siglo XIX en España: albéitares, herradores, castradores, mariscales, etc., y no fueron reconocidos laboral y socialmente hasta el siglo XX. En 1850 se les ceden responsabilidades sanitario-zootécnicas, aunque muchos siguieron practicando el herrado. Con la creación de las escuelas de veterinaria, se plantan las bases de la veterinaria moderna en España, lo cual le da trascendencia en la salud pública, sobre todo en figuras como el subdelegado veterinario y el inspector de carnes, al entender las repercusiones que las enfermedades que sufren los animales tienen en la población que consume sus carnes. Mediante el estudio del Archivo Histórico de Jerez de los Caballeros (Badajoz, España) se ha podido analizar cómo vivieron y trabajaron los profesionales de la veterinaria en la población durante el siglo XIX. Se observa cómo se asentaban o marchaban de la ciudad, cómo atendían las epidemias que sufrían los animales para el consumo humano y cómo sufrían las dificultades económicas de la época y del Ayuntamiento. La destrucción y pérdida de parte del Archivo dificulta la obtención de más datos.

Veterinarians had different names throughout the 19th century in Spain: veterinary surgeons, farriers, castrators, marshals, etc., and they were not professionally and socially recognized until the 20th century. In 1850 they were given sanitary and zootechnical responsibilities, although many of them continued practicing horse shodding. With the creation of veterinary schools, the foundations of modern veterinary medicine were established in Spain; this has a special importance for public health issues, especially regarding figures like deputy veterinary and meat inspector, as they tried to understand the impact of animal diseases on the population who consumed animal meat. Studies in the Historical Archives of Jerez de los Caballeros (Badajoz, Spain) made it possible to analyze how veterinary professionals lived and worked there during the 19th century, how they settled in or left the city, how they treated epidemics in animals for human consumption, and how they suffered the economic difficulties of the period and the City. The destruction and loss of part of the Archives makes it difficult to obtain more data.

Observa-se como se assentavam ou deixavam a cidade, como atendiam as epidemias que os animais para o consumo humano sofriam e como sofriam as dificuldades econômicas da época e da Prefeitura. A destruição e perda de parte do Arquivo dificulta a obtenção de mais dados.

The 'Dangerous' Women of Animal Welfare: How British Veterinary Medicine Went to the Dogs.

This paper examines the turn toward the small companion animal that occurred in British veterinary medicine in the twentieth century. The change in species emphasis is usually attributed to post-war socioeconomic factors, however this explanation ignores the extensive small animal treatment that was occurring outwith the veterinary profession in the interwar period. The success of this unqualified practice caused the veterinary profession to rethink attitudes to small animals (dogs initially, later cats) upon the decline of horse practice. This paper argues that a shift toward seeing the small animal as a legitimate veterinary patient was necessary before the specialty could become mainstream in the post-war years, and that this occurred between the wars as a result of the activities of British animal welfare charities, especially the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals of the Poor.

Comitê de ética em pesquisa envolvendo experimentaçäo animal da Universidade Paranaense - CEPEEA/UNIPAR / Ethical committee for animal research of Universidade Paranaense - CEPEEA/UNIPAR

A busca por um desenvolvimento científico eticamente justificável e apropriado, levou o Instituto de Pesquisa e Ambiência Científica-IPEAC, da Universidade Paranaense-UNIPAR, a discutir o assunto e instituir um Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa Envolvendo Experimentaçäo Animal(CEPEEA). O CEPEEA é um órgäo assessor do IPEAC e responsável pelo acompanhamento das atividades que envolvam a utilizaçäo de animais no âmbito da UNIPAR. Tem por finalidade analisar, emitir pareceres e expedir certificados à luz dos princípios éticos na experimentaçäo animal exarados pelo Colégio Brasileiro de Experimentaçäo Animal (COBEA), sobre protocolos de experimentaçäo que envolvam uso de animais, bem como fiscalizar o cumprimento de um regulamento próprio, o que levou o CEPEEA à elaboraçäo de orientaçöes para o uso de animais em experimentaçäo. O CEPEEA também avalia trabalhos científicos encaminhados para o periódico Arquivos de Ciências Veterinárias e Zoologia da UNIPAR (ISSN 1415-8167)
