Farm Animal Infectious and Parasitic Diseases and Herd Health Management
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
Provide the information necessary to understand the most important infectious and parasitic diseases of domestic animals (cattle, sheep, goat, pig, avian and rabbit species), in an epidemiological, diagnostic and preventive perspective. The diseases are considered in the pathogen-host-environment relationship, taking into account the connotations of maintenance and diffusion in farmed animal species.
Expected learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the student must have acquired the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to organize an epidemiological and diagnostic analysis path and to manage the organization of the control and prevention of infectious and parasitic diseases in the farmed species treated in the course.
Appling knowledge and understanding
The student, through the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during the course must be able to formulate a suspicion of infectious or parasitic disease through the necessary epidemiological assessments, to propose the most suitable diagnostic path to identify the problem and to propose the most appropriate measures of prevention, control and therapy.
Making judgments At the end of the course, the student must be able to identify the direct and indirect risk factors linked to the appearance of an infectious or parasitic disease and suggest the most appropriate solutions, in compliance with current legislation.
Communication
The student will have to be able to expose what he has learned in a simple and clear way using a correct and appropriate terminology, in relation to the different operational areas.
Life long learning skills
The student will have to demonstrate the ability to continue, during his professional life, the study of the topics covered by the course in function of the new epidemiological situations that may arise, thanks to the mastery of the concepts and tools of critical analysis provided by teachings of the various modules.
All the skills acquired will be implemented during the practical activities carried out in the various modules and tested in the final exam.
