At first they wanted to establish Veterinary school in Lviv like in Vienna but founded only the fifth university chair, the chair of veterinary medicine at the Medical Faculty of the University. The first professor and chairman was Georg Chmel (1747 – 1805) graduator of Vienna Veterinary School. He was an author of first veterinary works in Lviv. In 1881 – 1882 academic year the Veterinary School was founded in Lviv. Its full name was Kaiser-King Veterinary School together with school of forging horses and clinic for animals in Lviv. The Director of that school was prof. Piotr Seifman (October 1, 1881), the former director of Warsaw Veterinary School and a director of Kazan’s Veterinary Institute. At the same time prof. Henryk Kadyi and prof. Antoni Barański were taken at positions there. In four years (February 19, 1885) the school gave the first five diplomas of veterinary doctors.
