Dr. A. Derakhshandeh, Director of the conference was the first speaker who gave some statistics on the conference and insisted that because of the common diseases between humans and animals, this conference was conducted between the Medical Sciences University and the School of Veterinary.

Dr. Ershad also pointed out the role of conferences of this kind in the expansion and development of science in the country and we must do whatever it takes to reconstruct our scientific and academic basis in order to make it more applicable and witness the usefulness and efficiency of science in our daily lives. The Chancellor of Shiraz University also stated that the struggle should be to try to prevent the society from any kind of disease or illness and in this sense, we must fix our concentration and attention on the Schools of Agriculture and Veterinary and combine these two academic centers to cooperate together, alongside the Medical University, in providing a healthier society for the country.
