| Course contents : | The course of the second master degree in veterinary medicine follows the teachings of semiology animal production (VETE0448-1) delivered in the first year of master degree graduate clinical training and precedes the clinical trainings organized during the 3rd yera of master degree in veterinary medicine. As is seen, the teachings of theriogenologu in animal production are organized continuously and progressively more complex.
The second master degree has 4 parts (35 hours). The first (14 chapters) deals with diseases of the waiting period of the puberty (anoestrus, free-Martinism, White Heifer disease ...) or the postpartum (placental retention, endometritis, uterine involution, anoestrus, ovarian cysts ), the period of reproduction (embryonic death, infertility) and gestation (abortions and other diseases), the female and male reproductive diseases. Emphasis is also placed on a more holistic approach through the chapter on reproductive management system (data collection, quantification and interpretation). The second part (four chapters) is dedicated to obstetrics. It concerns the pharmacological control of parturition, the causes of dystocia but also handling obstetric bleeding and not bleeding interventions and complications of parturition. The third part (three chapters) discusses reproductive biotechnologies namely artificial insemination and methods of production in vivo and in vitro embryos. The fourth part (2 chapters) more specific to ruminants is restricted to individual aspects and herd udder health.
These parts are complementary to two hours of training on reproductive and obstetrical diseases in pigs (Dr. Martine Laitat) and three hours devoted to more specific relations between between the pathologies of reproduction and metabolism (Dr. Hugues Guyot). |
|
| Course objective : | The general objectives of this course are (1) describe as broadly as possible the different reproduction, obstetrical and mammary pathologies of the male and female ruminants and pigs responsible for infertility in an individual and herd approach (objectives of knowledge), (2) to force the students to understand the relationships that exist between these diseases and their mechanism effect on reproductive performance (objectives of understanding) and (3) to inform students about the preventive and curative attitude to have for the most i!mportant reproduction or mammary pathologies (application objectives).
The course focuses on the reasoning more than on factual knowledge. It is conceived as a whole. Each chapter of the course is subject to more specific objectives stated knowledge, understanding and application. It is not possible to present here an exhaustive list. The student will read them before each chapter of the course. More than teaching objectives, they are targets of evaluation that you consider important in making their definition and use. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Courses presupposes a good knowledge of physiology, embryology and anatomy of the male and female reproduction system in ruminants and pigs. Moreover, the information provided within the course of semiology animal production are essential elements in understanding the lessons of this course.
Therefore, as in previous years, you are invited to browse the essential data posted on the WebCT platform (See the homepage: Theriogenology / Training Areas / Prerequisites). These prerequisites will be tested through a test on line organized on the WebCT platform. |
|
| Workshops : | Three clinics are organized. The first is devoted to individual cases, another to herd medicine and the third to swine species.
You are invited to read the specific recommandations related to thses three clinics. |
|
| Organization : | The first hour is devoted to the presentation of the educational project and its modalities.Our teaching is a blended teaching (organized in presential and at distance). The main chapters of the course are delivered in amphitheater on Mondays and Wednesdays (any schedule changes will be notified by the teacher through the calendar of the WebCT platform).
Wishing to gradually develop the self of the learner, some courses (applications of echography in reproduction, male pathologies, more specific pathologies of the female) will be organized at distance therough the WebCT platform. You're invited to go online and ask any questions through the relevant forum of discussion.
The use of WebCT platform aims to (1) to increase the interactivity between you and the teachers and supervisors. To this end, each chapter is subject to a discussion forum where you can ask your questions. A reply will be sent within 24 hours. It also aims (2) to enable the learner to self-evaluate through formative tests associated with each chapter. Finally it aims to (3) allow appropriate to the learner to seek more information through links shown or receive multimedia illustrations.
The attendance to the courses is strongly recommended.
In order to increase interactivity with students, we will have the opportunity to use the electronic voting boxes. This method should allow you to evaluate your learning during class time.
Important note
Access to the WebCT platform means that the student is enrolled at the University of Liege and has validated the year of his course. This validation, you will also have access to the platform Exams and thus to various tests in formative Theriogenology available to you. You will find on the homepage of the WebCT courses (/ Resources), additional information for access to the platform Exams. |
|
| Written notes : | Notes (Word and Power Point presentations accompanied by numerous illustrations and diagrams) have been written for all the 23 chapters of the course. They are annualy updated (you are invited to check the version, the content of certain chapters could be changed). They are available from the WebCT platform or on the Orbi platform (http://orbi.ulg.ac.be/simple-search?query=hanzen) . We draw your attention to the fact that the multimedia material (movies) illustrating the course is accessible only from the WebCT platform.
Videotapes and CD-ROM are also available to students in the service. They are available on site. Their list is displayed on the WebCT platform.
The students can also consult if necessary via the WebCT platform a list of books or additional links. |
|
| Assessment : | Evaluation of Theriogenology course (VETE 0443-1)
Formative evaluations, dispensational not mandatory évaluation (january 2011) and compulsory evaluation (may or june 2011) will be organized. If you do the examination in May or June 2011, your note will be the one acquired in January 2011. What is the grade gained in January 2011, you can still take the exam in May or June 2011.
The written evaluations from January to May or June 2011 (3:00) include 60 questions called Multiple Choice (MCQ) with implicit general solutions (IMS) 6,7,8, 9 with degrees of certainty (DC). The assessment will include an equal number of known issues knowledge, understanding and application. |
