Abstract

1. Of the three kingdoms, Koguryo is believed to have had nomadic life, so the livestock husbandry was vigour, but, in Silla and Paikche, only the horse production as military purpose and cattle production as a mean of cultivation had been improved. 2. In the three Kingdoms, the methods of superstition and Shamanism had been used as the mean of curing animals before Haeza, a saintly priest, A. D 590. and after that, shamanism and veterinary science seemed to be combined. We believed that Haeza is to be an initiator of veterinary science in Korea.
