Animal Biologic Unit

Biology

1) Theoretical descriptive exposure;

2) Demonstrative practical classes with manipulation of bones, viscera, blood, animal feces and parasites;

 3) Field, demonstration and practical classes by students of procedures previously covered in theoretical classes

4) In bibliographic research and analysis of articles and reports on the contents of the UC

1. To know the exterior of the animal, its general musculoskeletal organization, the aprumus and its deficiencies, the anatomical structure of the animal’s basin and its connections to the process of childbirth;
2. To know the anatomy and physiology of the different organic systems, with particular incidence for the reproductive and lactopoietic functions, their zootechnical applications
3. To know the defense mechanisms in animals and the principles of immunization and etiological pathogenesis, in an epidemiological and animal health context, with approach to some pathologies

Objective 1 (40%): outside the animal and its skeletal organization; ossification and calcium metabolism; joints; aprumos and their deficiencies; basin and birthing process; muscular physiology and some muscles
Objective 2 (40%): anatomical physiology of cardio-respiratory, circulatory, immune, digestive and genito-urinary systems; reproductive and lactopoietic function and zootechnical applications;
Objective 3 (20%): pathogens; immune system and immunization; etiological pathogenesis in an epidemiological, animal health and public health context; some pathologies (metabolic, parasitic and infectious-contagious)

Continuous evaluation

Approval in the subject requires the student to have a minimum classification greater than or equal to 9.5, obtained by weighting the following assessment instruments:

1. Animal Structure: theoretical (50%) and practical (50%) written assessment; - 40.0% of the final grade.
2. Splanchnology and Animal Physiology: theoretical (50%) and practical (50%) written assessment; - 40.0% of the final grade.
3. Animal Health and Reproduction: written assessment (100%) - 20.0% of the final grade.

 Approval at the UC requires the student to have a grade equal to or greater than 7.5 in each of the assessment instruments, for the purposes of exemption from the exam.

Each and every student will only be able to obtain an evaluation by frequency, with a maximum of 25% of absences from classes effectively taught, not justified.

Assessment by Exam

According to the regulation in force, the student has access to 2 exam periods, maintaining the assessment instruments and the respective weighting:

1. Animal Structure: theoretical (50%) and practical (50%) written assessment; - 40.0% of the final grade.
2. Splanchnology and Animal Physiology: theoretical (50%) and practical (50%) written assessment; - 40.0% of the final grade.
3. Animal Health and Reproduction: written assessment (100%) - 20.0% of the final grade.

Students subject to assessment by exam have the right to be exempt from assessment instruments carried out in attendance, in which they obtained a grade equal to or greater than 7.5.
