Sumario:At the beginning of the twentieth century, Spanish veterinarians were faced with reforms that redefined their work. One objective was to promote the transformation of veterinary science in Spanish life, by emphasizing its scientific aspect as evidence of its modernization. Just one formula was applied to support professional interests in the reform and it implied a shift toward two disciplines that enjoyed high social recognition, namely, engineering and medicine. This sociological redefinition focused on the campaign launched by the veterinary press to change the name of the profession.
