General Information

The publishing work of the Faculty began only a few years after the foundation of the Veterinary College in 1919, and the renamed Veterinary Faculty in 1924, so the first journal in the field of veterinary sciences, Veterinarski arhiv (“Veterinary Archives”) began to be published in 1931, and the journal Veterinar in 1938.  In this almost one hundred year period, rich and dynamic publication work has development, especially over the past two decades.  Doctors of veterinary medicine, whether independently or in cooperation with experts from various other related areas, have made a significant contribution to the development of veterinary medicine in Croatia.

The Veterinary Faculty of the University of Zagreb has a long tradition of publishing scientific and professional journals and university textbooks in the field of veterinary medicine.  Apart from serial publications, such as our scientific and professional journals, we are also proud of the publication of university textbooks which are the basis of the development of higher education and scientific research work.  They are the result of the scientific and professional work of our teaching staff, scientists and researchers, and also an important part of our library collection, which is easily accessible to students of veterinary medicine, and enables them to learn about the latest relevant insights in veterinary medicine, diagnostics and treatment of animals, from literature in Croatian.
