Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the application of case teaching method in Veterinary Production Science helps to enhance the undergraduates' learning interest and improve their achievements in this course. Taking 8 classes of College of Veterinary Medicine as the research object, the case teaching method was implemented in teaching of Veterinary Production Science. After the completion of teaching, the research object was investigated by questionnaire, and their final scores was compared and analyzed by Graphpad prism 6. The results showed that the surveyed undergraduates expressed their approval and favor for the integration of case teaching method into the teaching process of professional course, and their learning interest in Veterinary Obstetrics Science was generally increased. In addition, they expected to include the case-based teaching in future. The comparative analysis of the final scores found that the average scores of the two teaching classes receiving the case teaching method were 0.93 points higher compared with the previous sessions. It is indicated that the case teaching method is beneficial to enhance the undergraduates' learning interest in Veterinary Obstetrics Science and helps to improve their achievements in this course. The case teaching method are expected to be introduced into the teaching process of the professional courses in the future.
