Not applicable.

In order to impart the skills offered, the process of teaching / learning is based on:

– Classes of theoretical and practical-theoretical content related to general concepts on animal feeding systems;

– Ration formulation.

– Theoretical lessons, followed by field classes related to cultural techniques;

– Videos and slideshows, and consult and research technical information on the most common agricultural machinery.

Preparation and discussion of a report regarding the matters discussed in field classes;

– Bibliographic research and preparation of a paper on a relevant agronomic theme.

The aims of the UC are to:

1. Identify animal species with different digestive and metabolic characteristics and nutritional requirements;

2. Know food systems and evaluation methods;

3. Use adequate methods to formulate diets

4. Know the main cultural techniques used in agriculture, from land preparation to harvesting;

5. Recognize the advantages and disadvantages of the use of the main management crop techniques in real situations

For assessment purposes, the content of the syllabus is divided into 2 modules:

Module 1 (50%):

Energy value of food and its use by the animal.

Nutritional needs of animals.
