About traditional chinese Veterinary Medicine

Western veterinary medicine derive from different backgrounds: the former is objective and scientific, while the later is subjective and empirical. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages.
If we can combine the advantages of both systems and avoid the disadvantages, it may be possible to create a synergistic system of medicine for animals.
The use of Traditional Chinese medicine in China spans thousands of years and the documentation is extensive. Traditional Chinese medicine may provide new methods to treat animal and human disease if modern veterinary science evaluates its historical therapeutic claims.

Recent development in biotechnology has shown that the main factors needed to develop any science are personal effort, group effort, the activities of interested organisations, teaching and training at university level and financial support from governments.
Although modern veterinary medicine in China is underdeveloped, all these factors are present. However, most other countries lack these factors.
