Abstract: Based on InCites database, this paper systematically analyzed the development of veterinary sciences of China Agricultural University, Huazhong Agricultural University, South China Agricultural University, and Yangzhou University during the period of 2008 to 2018. Moreover, the discipline competitiveness was evaluated by comparing with that of the University of California Davis, University of London Royal Veterinary College, and Ghent University. The results show that veterinary sciences of the four Chinese universities have developed well in recent years, with increased output of academic papers. However, there is still a big gap between domestic and foreign universities in terms of the quantity of papers, citation frequency, cites per document, highly cited papers, and H- index. Therefore, it is suggested that domestic niversities should strengthen academic team building and pay more attention to talent cultivation and introduction to increase the output of academic papers, promote the connotative development of veterinary sciences to improve the quality of papers, and strengthen international exchanges and cooperation to enhance the academic influence and innovation ability.
