Research On Rural Grass-roots Veterinary Medicine After The Founding Of The People's Republic Of Chin

This paper examines veterinarians history since the founding of the nation,using veterinarians as the object of study.In addition to focusing on the veterinary community itself,it also focuses on the many facets of veterinary medicine at the grassroots level.Chapter 1 begins with a brief introduction to the region explored in this paper.The unique geographical location and natural environment of Xiahe County have made the local livestock industry very developed,and the Tibetan compatriots living in this area mainly rely on livestock production as their main way of life,so the livestock industry occupies a considerable economic position in the area.Because of the large number of local livestock,livestock diseases have gradually become a concern.Chapter 2 explores the grassroots livestock veterinary system after the founding of the country.From the beginning of the founding of the country,the prevention and control of livestock diseases was regarded by the new Chinese government as an important issue in the work of ethnic regions.However,how to effectively make epidemic prevention and control work reach the grassroots society required a set of effective institutional constraints.In the early days of the country,the effectiveness of the working group relied heavily on the cooperation of the local administration,which did not see the epidemic prevention work as their own responsibility,making it difficult for the working group.In order to solve this dilemma,the higher government tried to bridge the split between epidemic prevention and local administration by establishing animal protection organizations,so that epidemic prevention could be effectively promoted.However,this attempt had little effect.During the period of the people’s commune,since the commune had both administrative and production responsibilities,epidemic prevention was directly related to the commune’s performance,so the commune invested great enthusiasm in epidemic prevention,and each commune established veterinary workstations,thus forming a more complete grassroots veterinary system.However,in the process of system operation,the work division system became an obstacle to epidemic prevention work.Looking at the prevention and control of livestock epidemics in the early period of the founding of the country from the perspectives of institutional and social history,we can see the difficulties encountered by the state’s will to reach the grassroots in the countryside,and we can also observe the complex aspects of the interaction between the state and society from the side.Chapter 3 shifts the perspective to an anti-rodent campaign.Under the guidance of ensuring livestock production and protecting grasslands,an eradication campaign against Ochotona Ochotona daurica Palls and rabbits is launched in Xiahe County.Under the combined force of grassroots herders’ life experiences and scientific discourse,Ochotona daurica Palls is considered the culprit for destroying the grassland and affecting production.And the use of political discourse in the rat eradication mobilization made the campaign not just a science-led act,but a reshaping of human society itself.In the short term,the rodent eradication campaign achieved fruitful results,yet the campaign had far-reaching effects on the local ecology.
