UNIVERSITY OF VETERINARY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES BRNO THEN AND NOW Historical overview The University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno (UVPS Brno) was founded on 12 December 1918. It was the very first university formed upon the establishment of the Republic of Czechoslovakia after the Great War (WWI). It is for this reason that the then premises were formed mainly by cavalry barracks. In the oldest building of today’s campus, building no. 32, there used to be a provincial boys’ reform school, while today’s Pavilion of prof. Betschka (building no. 31) were teaching facilities for the inmates. The university’s founder and first rector was prof. Eduard Babak who linked the concept of the school to that of the Vienna veterinary university. Because most campus facilities were taken up by the army, some university institutes had to be temporally placed in facilities at the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University and professors of this faculty became the first teachers at the newly established College of Veterinary Surgeons. Classes began on 17 November 1919. From its start, the university developed as a single faculty university of 18 departments and clinics aimed at veterinary sciences. In 1924, the university was visited by President T. G. Masaryk who was in fact the only president of our country ever to pay a visit to the school. The Second World War brought teaching and education in general to an end and both teachers and students were persecuted. As far as the newly renamed University of Veterinary Medicine was concerned, some of its clinics provided service as veterinary hospitals and research facilities. It was in this period that the Department of Foodstuff Examination and Materials of Animal Origin was founded. On 1 September 1952 the university was affiliated to the University of Agriculture in Brno as its Veterinary Faculty. In 1968 the University of Veterinary Medicine in Brno regained its independence once and for all. Seven years later, two branches were established: College of General Veterinary Medicine, and College of Veterinary Medicine – Food Hygiene. In 1990, the two branches formed individual faculties - Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology. In 1991, a third faculty, Faculty of Pharmacy, was established, aimed at human and veterinary pharmaceutical sciences. Since 1994, the new official name of the university has been University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno.
University Today Undergraduate university applicants must submit their applications by the end of February and their entrance examination scheduled for the month of June consist of tests from biology, chemistry, and in case of pharmacy applicants, physics is also included. Education is carried out on the principle of ECTS – the European Credit Transfer System in the form of lectures, practical seminars, school laboratory, clinic or pharmacy training, or in meat, fish or dairy workstations. For FVHE students, campus abattoir is available where inspection of slaughter animals can be learned. Students can gain practical experience on the university agricultural farm and national and foreign internship programs. Studies at the UVPS Brno are crowned with a graduation ceremony when graduates take a ceremonial oath and obtain graduation diplomas complemented by an English diploma supplement. Studies at UVPS Brno are supported by a scholarship program (merit scholarship, accommodation and social scholarship, that for excellent scientific and research results or for sports representation of the school). Research activities results are published in papers by composite authors listed in an annual List of Publications of UVPS Brno overview. The university’s own Impact factor journal aimed at veterinary medicine is the Acta Veterinaria Brno, its tradition dating back to 1922. Students can become members of the IVSA – International Veterinary Student Association or the USF – Union of Pharmacy Students which operate at the university.
Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology History of FVHE The history of the Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology dates back to the Department of Foodstuff Examination and Materials of Animal Origin which provided tertiary veterinary education throughout the 19th century. The establishment of the Czechoslovak veterinary university in 1918 created proper conditions for development of veterinary hygiene in the country. A standalone Department of meat, milk and food hygiene was founded in 1920 at our university, its head being prof. Jan Lenfeld. The institute specialized in inspection of slaughter animals, carcasses and meat as well as in the methods of safeguarding hygienic level of food. Food technology as the basic principle of maintaining hygienic processing procedures and protection of consumer health were included in the newly developed field. Prof. Lenfeld formed the concept of veterinary hygiene in our country, which was cultivated and elaborated by his successors. With regard to the increasing significance of food safety and the necessity of highly qualified experts, an independent study field of veterinary hygiene was established at the FVHE UVPS Brno in 1990. Lenfeld’s student and successor, associate professor Jan Hoekl, followed his teacher’s footsteps and improved technological processes of meat preservation, introducing breakthrough ideas of meat packing. Hoekl’s student, prof. Zdenek Matyas, a veterinarian, WHO expert and researcher in the field of food hygiene and technology, founded a new discipline of General food hygiene dealing with issues of alimentary diseases and food safety. Prof. Matyas published a methodological manual for practical application of the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) systematic preventive approach to food safety.

Study at the Faculty FVHE offers its undergraduate students a Bachelor’s and a continuing Master’s study program, their majors being Food Safety and Quality and the length of study three and two years. After completing the studies, graduates are bestowed the Bachelor (abbreaviated to Bc.) or Master academic degree (abbreviated to Mgr.). There is also regular undergraduate Master’s study which takes six years and is realized in the field of Veterinary Hygiene and Technology. Its graduates earn the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine academic degree (abbreaviated to MVDr.). FVHE offers doctoral studies as well, both in the Czech and English language. The standard length of this major in the field of Veterinary Hygiene and Ecology is three years and the graduates are bestowed the Doctor academic degree (abbreaviated to Ph.D. stated behind one’s name.). Food Safety The field of veterinary hygiene is relatively new. It developed from applying pathological anatomy during inspection of meat in slaughterhouses in the 19th century and its main aim was protection of human health. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, microbiology has been used as an objective auxiliary method of slaughter animal inspection. Later on, microbiological methods were utilized to assess food safety quality and the safety of food production and processing. At the same time, methods of chemical, and physiochemical assessment of safety of food, its production and processing were put to practice. The newly introduced biochemical methods should help to clarify both positive and negative impact of chemicals used in agricultural output, such as that of antibiotics, hormones, growth stimulants, as well as radioactive and other substances on biological value and safety of food. The development of veterinary hygiene as a discipline complies with all other biological disciplines, including veterinary medicine which focuses on the issue of livestock health prevention and sustainment. Veterinary hygiene practice is no longer the matter of recognizing a bad quality and harmful food product. Today’s professionals are able to capture harmful raw material before or during its processing and to exclude it from further technology. Food hygiene deals with distinguishing positive or negative properties and it also strives to explain the causes of deviations. Veterinarians must thus intervene with meat industry much more effectively. They ought to influence the process of breeding and feeding of livestock as well as other factors of food production so that the acquired food possessed high biological values but were also safe for consumption. In the field of veterinary hygiene the veterinarian is the erudite professional who gains essential theoretical and practical knowledge through university education so that they could globally inspect, assess and decide in case of foodstuff and raw materials of animal origin. (MATYÁŠ a kol., 1965) The availability of safe food improves the health of people and is a basic human right. Safe food contributes to health and productivity and provides an effective platform for development and poverty alleviation. People are becoming increasingly concerned about the health risks posed by microbial pathogens and potentially hazardous chemicals in food. Up to one-third of the populations of developed countries are affected by foodborne illness each year, and the problem is likely to be even more widespread in developing countries. The poor are the most susceptible to ill-health. Food and waterborne diarrhoeal diseases, for example, are leading causes of illness and death in less developed countries, killing an estimated 2.2 million people annually, most of whom are children. Diarrhoea is the most common symptom of foodborne illness, but other serious consequences include kidney and liver failure, brain and neural disorders, and death. The debilitating long-term complications of foodborne disease include reactive arthritis and paralysis. (WHO GLOBAL STRATEGY FOR FOOD SAFETY: SAFER FOOD FOR BETTER HEALTH, 2002).
