[Veterinary pharmacotherapy: from retrospect to future expectations].
To begin with, a review paper on apomorphine, published by J.J. Hinze in 1875, is discussed. Subsequently, the development of pharmacology and rational pharmacotherapy is described. The progress of veterinary pharmacotherapy during the sixties and seventies is recalled on the basis of instances, and recent additions such as aditoprim, florphenicol and flumazenil are also referred to. Finally, the possibilities of biotechnology, particularly polypeptides which are produced using the recombinant DNA technique, such as interferons, interleukins and somatotropins (which are of interest from the point of view of zootechnics) are discussed. The recombinant DNA technique also makes it possible to synthesise receptor proteins, and thus offers new and interesting possibilities for future pharmacological studies.
