- Educational objectives
- D1 - KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The student must know: cardiac and pulmonary function, prestomacal activity in ruminants, female reproductive system functionality. Difference between registry office, registry data and Genealogical Book of farm animals and horse. Knowledge of the physical and chemical parameters useful for the evaluation of fodder (grass and hay); knowledge of the system used for BCS estimation. Acquire knowledge on the main parasitic agents and on the methods of transmission in relation to the breeding: ovi-goat, bovine, pig, equine. Hygienic-sanitary and microbiological aspects related to intensive farming of: sheep and goats, cattle, pigs.
D2 - APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING At the end of the training activity, the student must know how to make blood samples, take the arterial pulse, survey the respiratory rate, and the body temperature. Morpho-functional signaling and evaluation of livestock and horses. Evaluation of the quality of a forage (grass and hay), assessment of BCS on sheep, beef cattle, pigs and horses. Complete breeding chart, collection and storage of biological material for parasitological investigations. Sampling of samples to be sent to the laboratory for microbiological investigations.
D3 - MAKING JUDGMENT At the end of the training activity, the student must be able to evaluate, at basic levels, indicators of the state of health and welfare of the productive animals. Evaluate the correct management of stables registers and activities related to the zootechnical register
