Um...no. In India only a few animals are pets. You don't think the freely roaming cows, dogs, and monkeys are ever taken to a vet do you ? Even for pets like dogs and cats, vaccinations and neutering are not standard in India.

To my way of thinking, a country with lots of pets and a good sized population with a high disposable income would hire the most vets.

A country that contains many ranches, where people's livelihood is dependent on healthy animals would probably have the vets who make the highest income.

So, maybe U.S., Australia, Brazil . . .

For livestock in USA, to be more specifically, i would say Wyoming, Montana, Kansas, Florida, Texas. Those are the big cow states were, in Montana for instance, there's 4 cows for every citizen.
So lots of big ranches there that need vets i quess. There's no place in europe were ranches are as big as in the US.

The ranches have been replaced by feedlots, which don't have much use for vets.

For that specialty, I would guess that it would be someplace where you can get a job at a large zoo. I don't think that there is any place where there are enough pet owners of reptiles that are willing to pay high fees to maintain the health of the reptile.

Owners of expensive birds will pay but there are a limited number of owners who have expensive birds.

An area with gigantic egg or poultry production farms would use a bird vet. Personally, I suspect that is a nasty job. Most of those are in the USA, southeastern coastal states.

It's difficult to guess, though. I was just at John Day, Oregon, a place with a population of about 5,000 people, and they have the biggest and fanciest vet building that I've ever seen. I assume to serve the local cattle industry that appears to produce a lot of high quality registered cattle. I wouldn't have guessed it to be a place where a vet could make a generous income, yet, there it is.

The ranches have not been replaced by feedlots. All cattle in the USA and Canada live on pasture until they are about 800 pounds and then some of them, not all of them, are finished in feedlots.

Feedlots all have a veterinarian on call. Feedlot cattle are very carefully looked after. A sick or dying cow is a huge financial loss. A cow that even sniffles is immediately isolated and given the best vet care.

Not only do the feedlots use vets, but the USDA has full time veterinarians whose only job is to constantly monitor feedlots and livestock auctions. Plus the government also has a full time employee called a brand inspector, whose job is to look for stolen livestock, and he also monitors health, although he doesn't necessarily need to be a licensed veterinarian.
