There is even a special section on livestock practice for farm animals.

For someone who loves animals, there can be no more challenging or rewarding career than assisting in their medical care. When illness or accident befalls a pet, its suffering is real, as is the grief and anxiety of its owners. Being able to assist in medical procedures and comforting family members can be extremely gratifying experiences.

Animal care also offers the opportunity for stable employment and an attractive salary. Veterinarians need technologists, assistants and clerical staff. There are also job opportunities with pet stores, animal breeders, farms, universities and some hospitals. However, a simple love for animals is usually not enough to land a job in this field. Veterinary medicine is even more complex than human medicine due to the wide variety of animal species that need medical care. If you want a veterinarian to hire you over all the other applicants, you must have knowledge that will be of value to the practice.
