Animal Care in the Islamic Empire

There were veterinarian texts in the fourteenth century mamluk period. Texts of hippocrates and galen also circulated through the islamic empire, translated into arabic. There was a much more diversified approach to caring for animals than just focusing on on the working animals of livestock. But before we finally established formal veterinary training - there was still no formalized course of study for animal care. Remaining hundreds of years until western veterinary practices really expanded.
