Dr. Fran Zavrnik was a highly regarded veterinary teacher, scientist and organizer of veterinary colleges. He is credited with being the founding father of both Yugoslavian haematology and Slovenian veterinary terminology. While he and his family lived and worked in Zagreb for a long time between the World Wars, after 1945 he devoted himself to science and teaching in Slovenia. Dr. Zavrnik’s hard work and efforts were instrumental in establishing the Slovenian Home as a gathering place for Slovenians in Zagreb. He was a founding member of this association on 2 October 1929. Dr. Zavrnik’s contributions to the field of veterinary medicine were particularly noteworthy. He was an outstanding scientist in this field and one of the founding fathers of both Yugoslavian and Slovenian veterinary medicine. As a keen researcher and scientist, he conducted research on the cellular elements of the blood and haemopoietic organs, whether alone or with his colleagues. He also laid the foundations for the history of veterinary medicine in Slovenia.
