Estimation and Forecast of the Possible Position Numbers for Licensed Veterinarian in China

Xian Xu, Jinhua Xiao and Ganzhen Deng
China will fully put the system of licensed veterinarian in practice in 2017 but we still didn’t know how many veterinarians which were the essential requirement for it. We investigated the possible veterinary position numbers depending on the demand of animal hospital, animal industry, veterinary pharmaceutics and device industry, animal feeds industry and wild animal protection in China. The results showed that China needed 173,651 veterinary position numbers in 2011. Thereinto, veterinary service organization and animal husbandry respectively occurred 74,409 (42.08%) and 102,434 (57.92%). Furthered, we predicted that the veterinary position numbers will increase by the average annual incremental rate of 11.58% and be up to 292, 076 in 2017, including 144,526 (49.48%) position numbers in veterinary service organization and 147,550 (50.52%) in animal husbandry. In case of the low passing rate of the national examination for licensed veterinarian, qualified veterinarian mainly employed in central cities and in governmental office or institute, an obvious shortage of veterinarian was still existed at present. More excellent policy should be performed by Chinese government for the fully scale practice of licensed veterinarian’s system.
