| Course contents : | This clinic is divided in three clinics : individual cases, herd healthb management and pig clinic.
 | | Ruminants clinic (individual cases) |
|
| The ruminant clinic (individual cases) was organized by the clinical department of production animals. It enables practical training in medecine, surgery and ruminant reproduction. |
| | Médecine des troupeaux de ruminants |
|
| The clinic of the ruminant herds medicine is one of three clinics supervised by the department of the production animals. She completes the practical training offered by the individual cases and porcine clinics. |
| | Swine clinic |
|
| Training of students is achieved through seminars and practical workshops. |
|
|
| Course objective : | At the end of theses clincis, the student will be able to have a clinical reasonning.
| | Ruminants clinic (individual cases) |
|
| At the end of the week, students should be able to do:
- a complete anamneses
- a complete clinical exam of animals
-determine main clinical signs
-establish a differential diagnosis
-propose complementary exams
- propose a diagnosis
-discuss a possible treatment and management of the case. |
| | Médecine des troupeaux de ruminants |
|
| The objectives of this clinic are to make sensitive the students in the herd diagnosis in the context of a more global approach of the problems recovering from the internal medicine, surgery or theriogenology of the ruminants. This approach is completely additional of the individual approach. |
|
|
| Prerequisites : | A general knowledge of physiology, anatomy and semiology of ruminants and pigs is required.
| | Ruminants clinic (individual cases) |
|
| All courses and labs linked to ruminant medecine, surgery and theriogenology acquired the previous years of study. |
| | Médecine des troupeaux de ruminants |
|
| The clinical formations presuppose a good synthetic knowledge of physiology, general and topographic anatomy, propedeutics and semiology, nutrition, an,d ethology of the ruminants. |
| | Swine clinic |
|
| Basic notions in anatomy, pharmacology, surgery and ecology applied to domestic animals. |

|
|
| Assessment : | The knowledge and activity of the students will be evaluated during the three different clinics.
| | Ruminants clinic (individual cases) |
|
| During the clinical week, all students will be evaluated according to their theoritical knowledge, behaviour and practice.
Their theoretical knowledge is evaluated Thursday with a 5 min. written test based on pre-requisites.
Their behaviour is evaluated according to their motivation, tardiness, equipment and attitude....
Their practice is evaluated at the end of the week by an 10 min. oral test relating to the general exams of the individual cases. |
| | Médecine des troupeaux de ruminants |
|
| The clinical activity will be the object of an evaluation of the knowledge (at the beginning of the week), of the knowledge-being (during week) and of the know-how (at the end of week). |
| | Swine clinic |
|
| An evaluation of the knowledge-being, the knowledge and the know-how of each student will occur during the Swine clinic. |
