Overview

Large animal practice is the area of veterinary medicine devoted to the health and care of large domestic animals, primarily livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and pigs. It covers the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, reproductive and herd management, parasite control, and welfare, and it plays an important role in animal health, food security, and agricultural productivity. Large animal veterinarians often work on farms and in the field, addressing both individual-animal and population-level concerns. Research relevant to large animal practice published in the journal includes a coprological examination of ovine fasciolosis within a community-based sheep breeding program, addressing parasitic disease in flocks, and a review of efforts to improve cow fertility through reproductive management and estrous synchronization. Together these contributions reflect core concerns of large animal medicine: managing infectious and parasitic disease and optimizing reproduction in livestock herds. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to large animal practice and veterinary healthcare, offering an evidence-based resource for readers interested in the medicine, parasitology, and reproductive management of cattle, sheep, and other large animals.
