As the world population grows, so too does the need for more veterinary students trained in livestock medicine. UC Davis graduates, who care for dairy cows, beef cattle, swine, poultry, sheep and goats, will be on the front line of protecting the nation’s food supply by ensuring the health of animals in these industries.
