At the age of scientific and technical progress and of industrialization of animal husbandry neither theoretical nor applied science can dispense with the data of the veterinary genetics. Unfortunately this branch of science does not receive the attention it deserves. The following three problems have to be solved by the veterinary genetics: (1) the investigation of the relationship between the heredity and the pathology of animals; the examination of the mechanism of pathology at the molecular and organism genetic levels; (2) the elaboration of the methods of genetic diagnostics; (3) the search for scientifically-substantiated directions in breeding of animal breeds highly resistant to diseases. The main attention will be paid to the investigation of the mechanisms ensuring the natural resistance of animals to certain definite diseases. The establishment and development of veterinary genetics will exert a favourable influence on the progress of biological sciences. Its data will be indispensable both for the theory and the practice of agriculture.
在科技进步和畜牧业工业化的时代，理论科学和应用科学都离不开兽医遗传学的数据。不幸的是，这一科学分支并未得到应有的关注。兽医遗传学必须解决以下三个问题：（1）研究动物遗传与病理学之间的关系；在分子和生物体遗传水平上检查病理学机制；（2）制定遗传诊断方法；（3）在培育对疾病具有高度抗性的动物品种方面寻找有科学依据的方向。将主要关注确保动物对某些特定疾病具有天然抗性的机制的研究。兽医遗传学的建立和发展将对生物科学的进步产生有利影响。其数据对于农业的理论和实践都将是不可或缺的。
