According to the World Health Organization the Veterinary Public Health is defined as, “The sum of all contributions to the complete physical, mental and social well-being of humans through an understanding and application of veterinary medical science”. It is believed that concept of veterinary public health originated in Egypt, when the healer priests mentioned that there is no difference between caring for human patients as well as animals. Further, they acquired great knowledge from the anatomy and diseases of animals, and applied to the healing of human beings.
