Abstract

In the 19th-century Croatia the development of veterinary legislation and human medicine was of outstanding importance for the development of veterinary medicine. Human medicine, already well-developed at that time, was responsible for the whole veterinary service. Veterinary and some other associations also contributed to the development of veterinary medicine (Croatian and Slavonian Economic Society, 1841; Croatian and Slavonian Veterinary Society, 1893; School of Economy and Forestry in KriZevci, 1860; Public School of Farriery, 1886). Veterinary literature in Croatian also encouraged veterinary profession to organise itself.
