Abstract

Prof. Dr.
Hans Ganslmayer came Turkey in 1926 and worked as an expert for 2 years at
Military Veterinarian Bacteriology and Serology Institute in Ankara. He sent a
mail to President Mustafa Kemal, after his duty ended and returned back his
country. He reported his views on Military and Civil Veterinary Medicine in
Turkey in his letter. In addition, he presented his views on fighting against
cattle plague that created great distress at that time in Turkey. He also gave
information about properties, production of vaccines, and supplementation from
abroad in this fight. Prof. Ganslmayer also reported the current situation of
the Military and Civil Veterinary Organizations with their pluses and minuses
and he added the legislation on veterinary medicine is inadequate and should be
changed. Ganslmayer was one of the foreign scientists came to Young Republic
after 1923. Recommendations in his letter matched up with the succeeded
veterinary services in the first 15 years of the Republic.
