Abstract

Year in which the 250th anniversary of the foundation of the first Veterinary Medicine School in Lyon, France was celebrated. Veterinary sciences already existed long before the foundation of the Lyon Veterinary School, there were those who cured animals, in Egypt, Greece and Mesopotamia. There are treaties concerning the treatment of animals and man, but what is commemorated is the institutionalization of the teaching of the veterinary profession in the modern world.
