It was a time of strange con trasts for the new veterinarians. The costly Texas cattle fever tick had just been conquered. Yet, many livestock men were treating cattle for “hollow horn,” a non-existent ailment. And animal doctors, the young vets learned, were still called “horse doctors” by farmers and ranch ers. The year was 1920, just four years after the veterinary school was officially established. Since that time, the organization has managed to fill the period with enough research, education and all-around service to livestock men to make it one of the top institutions in the nation. Veterinary science progress at Aggieland has moved forward on three fronts: Education, or the School of Veterinary Medicine; research within the school and with the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station; and dissemination of research findings to farmers and ranchers through the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. Training students to become veterinarians is the primary role of the school, but its research program is highly effective and just as important. Disease con trol work has been under way for more than 72 years. As a result, an estimated $883 million in livestock and poultry losses have been saved. Costs during that time amount to only $3 million. stock was brought in to ' Texas animals. aft er Francis’ work not only sl a h clas the cattle industry in TexasH ne n an demonstrated that certain ^ Texas, sects can be disease Tr new idea in the entire ®® r0 m medicine in those days. mention foi Next came the loin’s felt! eye a woi'k by Dr. Hubert Scb4 v | rs ity Loin’s disease, especially prltjL His lent along the Gulf Coast [ er ^d S eri( found to be indirectly caussmlr tre a phosphorus deficiency icWd to A the animal.
