What is Veterinary Care Market?
Veterinary care is an integral part of an animal care and use program. The veterinarian's primary focus is on monitoring the welfare and clinical care of animals used in research, testing, teaching, and production. This responsibility extends to monitoring and promoting the welfare of the animals at all times during the animal's use and in all phases of the animal's life. Well-being is determined by taking into account physical, physiological, and behavioral indicators, which vary depending on the species. The number, types, and uses of animals housed in a facility can affect the complexity of the veterinary program. However, a veterinary program must be provided that provides high-quality care and ethical standards regardless of the number of animals or species kept. The veterinary care program is the responsibility of the attending veterinarian (AV) who has been certified or has been training or has experience in the laboratory of animal science and medicine or is otherwise qualified for the purpose of taking care of the species used. Some aspects of the veterinary program may be performed by someone other than a veterinarian. However, a mechanism for direct and frequent communication should be put in place so as to ensure that timely and accurate information is provided to the veterinarian that is responsible for the issues related to animal health, behavior, and well-being that is appropriate for the treatment or euthanasia that are hereby administered.
