The Bologna Declaration of 19 June 1999 was a pledge, signed by 29 European countries, to reform higher education systems in order to create a European Space for Higher Education by 2010. As the deadline approaches, it is time to specify how the veterinary curricula can most adequately be oriented to adapt to the guidelines of the Declaration. The increasing demand for food of animal origin has made it clear that there is a lack of farm veterinarians in some western countries. Paradoxically, an increasingly 'urban' mentality is developing in the profession and in veterinary education. In contrast to what happens in the field of companion animals, food animal veterinary education must integrate knowledge and practice in animal production with training in health and population medicine. However, in order to guarantee safety and food traceability from the farm to the fork, priority must first be given to any possible repercussions that might arise from public health issues, and then to profitability.
1999年6月19日的《博洛尼亚宣言》是一份由29个欧洲国家签署的承诺书，旨在改革高等教育体系，以便到2010年创建一个欧洲高等教育区。随着最后期限的临近，现在是时候明确兽医课程如何才能最充分地调整方向以适应该宣言的指导方针了。对动物源性食品的需求不断增加，这表明一些西方国家缺乏农场兽医。矛盾的是，该行业和兽医教育中正在形成一种日益“城市化”的心态。与伴侣动物领域的情况不同，食用动物兽医教育必须将动物生产方面的知识与实践同健康和群体医学培训相结合。然而，为了确保从农场到餐桌的食品安全和可追溯性，必须首先优先考虑公共卫生问题可能产生的任何影响，然后再考虑盈利能力。
