Alternative Medicine
As per a
rough estimate about 80% of the population in the developing countries
largely use traditional and other forms of treatment for themselves and also
for the animals. With such a scenario, future for the field of alternative
medicine may it be ayurveda, acupuncture or homeopathy is bound to be
promising and so we have included web sites giving wide spanning information
giving web-site on alternative medicine.

Libraries
Due to
the large number of books available on various topics of veterinary science
it is not possible for any one library to have all the relevant books on a
particular subject and so looking in to different libraries for the desired
text has become a necessity.
Online
libraries are a very good and fruitful solution to this problem where the
student can have a look into the books at a library anywhere around the
world and can even download chapters or even the entire book. We can say,
the world of knowledge is coming to the desktop.
