Good veterinarians and para-veterinarians need both individual clinical skills and field epidemiology skills to provide the best services to livestock owners. In some cases where a particular disease is very well known and easily diagnosed, epidemiology skills may add little to the veterinary clinical skills in diagnosing the disease and providing effective advice for treatment and prevention. Epidemiology skills are especially useful when a new or unknown disease occurs or where the causes of disease are not known.
