| Course contents :
| The curse of obstetrics includes some basics recalls concerning physiological process of parturition. He describes the differents stages of parturition, main rules of obstetrical examination (goals and methods), presents the pharmacological control and blood and non bloody interventions methods. Finally, it presents the main obstetrical complications.
The curse related to mammary pathologies describes the consequences of mastitis, définition and symptoms, aetiology, pathogeny, diagnostic and treatment.
The curse devoted to the biotechnologies of reproduction presents artificial insemination (sperm preservation methods, AI technics), in vivo and in vitro embryo production methods (superovulation, embryo recovery, quality determination, embryo preservation and transfert, ovum pick up, oocytes quality evaluation, maturation, in vitro fecundation process, embryo culture). | |

| Course objective :
| Obstetric is a science and a art. A science who needs anatomical, physiological and pathological knowledges. At the end of this curse, the student will be able to have a right attitude during the parturition and to decide the correct manual, surgical or pharmacological intervention to do.
At the end of the curse related to the pathologies of the mamamry gland, the student will be able to identify an individual or a herd problem of mastitis, to understand the relative importance and interrelationships between the main causative factors (germ, animal, environment) and finally to put in place a preventive or curative treatment.
The biotechnologies of reproduction concern artificial nsemination, in vitro or in vivo embryo production, cloning and transgenesis. At the end of the curse, the student will be more confident with these techniques in default to have a good practical experience. | |
