Summary:BackgroundMany challenges are encountered in both teaching and learning veterinary obstetrics. This may be due to outdated teaching materials, as the main model of content transmission remains centred around text and images.MethodsVisualisation methods such as three-dimensional (3D) and Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) tools were applied in an attempt to improve obstetrics education outcomes in the third-year class. Traditional teaching methods were utilised in the fourth-year and fifth-year students.ResultsThese supplementary tools significantly increased the third-year students’ final examination results compared with the results of fourth-year and fifth-year students (P
