ANIMAL HUSBANDRY DISCIPLINES AND VETERINA RY SCHOOLS .2. A GLANCE AT THE INSTRUCTIONS-VETERINAIRES WRITTEN BY CHABERT, FLANDRIN AND HUZARD (1782-1795)

The <<Instructions Veterinaires>> was published after the death of Bou rgelat. They provide us with information on what happened at Alfort du ring the difficult period of the revolution. The schools (of Lyon and Alfort) were for example accused of not being sufficiently interested in animal breeding in general. In their text, the successors of Bourge lat insisted on the necessity to train veterinary surgeons for a doubl e role of doctor and animal science technician, the latter being in fa ct inscribed in the idea of <<art veterinaire>>. However, it is not ce rtain that the changes made during this period corresponded really wit h the declared intentions.
