Duties: to determine

It is expected that the race courses can be taken as an independent external students. The tariffs shall be construed in accordance with the duration of each.

The study plan of the first year is common to the two guidelines.
Students will choose their orientation at the time of the second year.
The guidelines of the previous academic year are exhausted, the years turned up to the subscribers of outdoor 2006/07 are the 2nd and 3rd.
FEATURES AND PURPOSE ‘OF COURSE

The course of study is directed towards the acquisition of knowledge of basic biological and applied regarding the anatomy and physiology of animal species, and then move on to the study of microbiology, general pathology, infectious and parasitic diseases, sufficient to describe the main diseases of animals and breeding condition. As for the orientation “Veterinary Assistant”, such knowledge is complemented by concepts of veterinary legislation, pharmacology and toxicology, diet and food hygiene, veterinary nursing techniques and surgical clinics, reproduction, ethology, breeding and feeding the dog and cat, cytology and histopathology. Training is supplemented by laboratory courses to acquire skills in the conduct of specific diagnostic tests. With regard to the guidance “Health and hygiene of food of animal origin” such knowledge is complemented by concepts of legislation on animal products, pharmacology and toxicology, veterinary pathological anatomy, inspection, processing and quality control of products of animal origin . Training in this approach also provides laboratory courses to acquire skills in specific tests for food quality control.
With this end, the course prepares graduates with:
basic knowledge in the scientific disciplines relevant to the vocational training
knowledge of the principles of anatomy, physiology, general pathology, microbiology, epidemiology of infectious and parasitic diseases of domestic animals
knowledge of plans for prevention, as well as national health legislation and community
skills in the management of hygiene and health of farm animals
skills of veterinary hygiene and health and quality of animal products
skills of veterinary hygiene and health and quality of food for animals
application skills of pathology of the reproduction of artificial insemination
knowledge of the basic principles of nutrition, feeding and breeding of animals for disease;
knowledge of the issues of the environmental impact of livestock farming and processing industries
control of all aspects of the quality of productive animals
knowledge of diagnostic procedures in general pathology and immunology, pathological anatomy (with histopathology and citopatologia) and in the diagnosis of infectious and parasitic diseases
GUIDANCE “VETERINARY ASSISTANT”

The degree course aims to prepare graduates who are capable of operating in the technical management of stock and hygienic condition of the animals and also to carry out activities within the diagnostic laboratories and analysis of veterinary interest.
PROFESSIONAL MARKETS

The graduate is able to carry out:
breeding animals of illness, with particular reference to technical management, hygiene, genetic improvement, nutrition, legislation, welfare, education behavioral
kennels, shelters and protective associations, acting as technical management of toilet facilities and the Environment, in collaboration with the veterinary surgeon, as part of its powers
veterinary medical support to the activities of nursing
laboratory, its inherent powers
ORIENTATION: HEALTH AND HYGIENE ‘FOOD ANIMAL ”

The degree course aims to prepare graduates who will perform professional activities in the areas of sanitation management and quality of products in enterprises of production, processing and marketing of animal products for health and welfare of animals reared of veterinary public health, veterinary laboratory techniques, activity planning, supervision and verification of safety and sanitary quality of animal products. It can also work in laboratories where it is found the quality of animal products.
PROFESSIONAL MARKETS

The graduate is able to carry out:
sanitation control of animal products, in compliance with quality standards for the implementation of the certification of livestock products in enterprises
support and cooperation in the veterinary surgeon and the NHS
self-dealing in plant foods of animal origin;
perform auxiliary functions of the veterinary surgeon to ensure the tasks of verification of the ‘self’, the audit, the ante-and post-mortem.
laboratory, its inherent powers

Admission requirements
Bachelor degree in Domestic Animal Science including: anatomy/physiology (15 credits), ethology (10 credits), nutrition (20 credits) breeding (15 credits) and molecular genetics (5 credits). In addition, 10 credits are required in each of the following subjects: chemistry, mathematics, biology, statistics, plus introduction to Domestic Animal Science (20 credits).
