Overview

Tierärztliche Praxis Großtiere — abbreviated Tierärztliche Praxis (G) — is a German-language veterinary medical journal specialising in large and farm animals. It is published together with its sister journal Tierärztliche Praxis Kleintiere, which covers small animals. The journal serves as the official organ of several specialist groups of the Deutsche Veterinärmedizinische Gesellschaft (DVG), including Internal Medicine and Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics, Diseases of Small Ruminants, Poultry, Pathology, and Swine Diseases. It is also the official organ of the German-speaking group of the European Association of Avian Veterinarians. The journal publishes articles in both German and English. Each issue contains a continuing-education article recognised by the ATF (Akademie für tierärztliche Fortbildung). According to the German Wikipedia entry, the print run is 1,880 copies, the distributed circulation is 1,258 copies, and the impact factor is 0.368. The editor is Axel Wehrend. The journal is aimed at veterinarians working with large animals — cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats and other farm livestock — as well as researchers and students in veterinary medicine. Its website is hosted at tpg.schattauer.de, indicating a historical association with the Schattauer publishing house. The journal is indexed and carries an impact factor, making it a citable source in veterinary science. As a specialised trade journal, Tierärztliche Praxis Großtiere occupies a niche between pure research journals and practical continuing-education publications. Its dual-language approach and its role as an official organ of multiple DVG specialist groups give it a defined position within the German-speaking veterinary community.
