| Practical exercises are organized during 2 weeks.
One week is organized with two submodules, one on cattle breeding and the second on pig breeding.
During the second week, exercises are devolved to genetics. The goals of the genetics paraclinicals in farms management are to illustrate the selection such as it is practiced in the field, against genetic diseases and defaults affecting most animals, as well as to inform the student on the tools implemented to realize such selection (phenotypic, genotypic and assisted by markers). The progresses realized in genetics during the last decades allowed the setting up of a big selection dynamics in many species and the vulgarisation of these new concepts is more than necessary to use those tools it with good advice. Eventually, a external collaborator will explain their involvement in farm survey and in the daily management of veterinary practice. |

| The teaching of veterinary medicine during the first four years of the course is marked by a learning discipline and a didactic approach, firmly based on a descriptive and explanatory approach. The TPPC pharmacotherapy (25h) were chosen for the establishment of a pilot project at the faculty level to promote students' ability to solve complex problems oriented towards therapeutic approach. It is multidisciplinary in the sense of integration of knowledge and know-how acquired through the various disciplines of veterinary science to promote the acquisition of new skills (knowing how to act, skills) needed to solve problems. This learning is based on the appropriation of new tools (Evidence Based Medicine, conceptual map, Sheets ...) necessary to search for information relevant to their hierarchy and their integration into a comprehensive approach taking into account contextual factors included in the statements of the problems presented to students. |

| Course objective : |
| | Farm management |
|
| The objectives of the activities organized during the first week (12.5 h) are :
-familiarise the students to survey dairy and beef farms. Animal productions systems similar to systems of commercial farms will be studied. The survey follows a life cycle of the animals.
-offer to the students an approach in pig production from birth to slaughter.
- give a global approach of the factors involved in the profitability of pig farms with specific objectives.
At the end of the practice works of the second week (12.5 h), students will be able to understand a selection program, to criticize what is actually done and to propose improvements to the systems already set up. Moreover, they will be able to advise the owners and the breeders in the choice of the breeding animals and in setting up preferential mating within a breed. At last, the eradication aspects or limitation of the frequency of hereditary defaults within a population will have to be mastered. To prove they comprehend the principles, the students are required to do a presentation of 15 minutes on a subject at the end of the practicals. |

|
| The practical work is complementary to knowledge in the field of food science acquired during the 2 courses included in the programme of the 1st doctorat (VETE1023-1 et VETE1024-1). |
| | Pharmacotherapy and toxicology of domestic animals I & II |
|
| To learn how to make a rational therapeutic choice in a scientific, clinical and legal context. Students are trained to make decisions in real and complex situations, making use of the different disciplines.
Decision making is complex in veterinary medicine. Therefore it is essential to develop and implement teaching tools to train students and practitioners to make more informed decisions, based on scientific evidence. This module will include PBL (problem based learning) sessions to answer to a clinical question about therapeutics. It will integrate the Evidence Based Medicine approach.
The first objective of the multidisciplinary module is to train the students to integrate their knowledge and knowhow gained in the first four years of their cursus. A reflexive and methodical process will help the students to prepare themselves to handle therapeutic and/or prevention of of animal diseases at the individual or herd/group level. Students will have to use conceptual maps in the preparation and presentation of their problems.
The second objective of the module is to train the students to use the Evidence Based Medecine (EBM) approach to therapeutic decison making. Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients (animals). Good veterinarians and health professionals use both individual clinical expertise and the best available external evidence, and neither alone is enough. Without clinical expertise, practice risks becoming tyrannised by evidence. Even excellent external evidence may be inapplicable to or inappropriate for an individual patient. Without current best evidence, practice risks becoming rapidly out of date, to the detriment of animals. Evidence-based medicine involves tracking down the best external evidence with which to answer our clinical questions.
At the end of the module, learners should be able to :
- Give a definition of EBM and list its objectives,
- List and explain the steps of EBM,
- Explain how to search the literature,
- Sort out papers by scientific strength of evidence,
- Know the principles of cursory reading of the literature (reading by "layers")
- Understand and explain what is a bias and a random error,
- Identify the future applications of EBM in their practice,
- Integrate EBM in the process of decision making

| | Farm management |
|
| In the submodule on cattle breeding, the activities are carried on every morning at the experimental station. Since these activities are variable according to the season and to the physiological status of the animals, the students are on duties during the night and the week-ends according to a time table previously fixed. The presence is compulsory. When a student is unable to be present, he will be repleaced by a colleague. |

| When ? 5 x 2,5 hours (See courses schedule)
Where ? intra muros (Lab. practical work, B43b/floor -1)
Who ? The attendance is required. Justification of any absence has to be sent to the secretary of the Department before the end of the week. If the absence is not regularized, an "A" (for Absent) final mark is attributed. |

| Monday 13th september 3pm at he Bacq and Florkin amphitheater CHU, B35-B36 level 1. Information session.
The module is held at the library of the FMV form 9 to 11 am.
First week
Monday (small room of the veterinary libray) the problem is given to the students, concept maps presentation and exercice.
Tuesday : Introduction to EBM (Tuesday, great room)
The educational intervention is a 2 hour short course. It is interactive. The teacher will ask the participation of the audience during the power point presentation. The examples will refer to questions about therapeutics, applied to different species. For example, EBM could be applied to questions about treatment of bovine respiratory disease or psoroptic mange. Real cases will be used to reflect about therapeutic options and decisions. The template of the course will remain the same throughout the year but problems and examples will change. This aims to standardize the course and allows for its educational evaluation and regulation.
The short course begins with a pre-test (Multiple choice questions) to assess student's background. It ends with a post-test and immediate feed-back is given. These tests are also used to present the objectives of the course and stimulate auto-evaluation.
Wednesday : Group-work (small room)
Thursday : Presentation of the problem by the student in second week, students in first week assist to the presentation
Friday : Group-work
Second week
Monday to wednesday : Group-work
Thursday : Presentation of the problem by the student in second week, students in first week assist to the presentation

Evaluation
of the course VETE0052-1 « Pharmacothérapie et toxicologie des
animaux domestiques I et II » is based on the oral presentation and
defense of individual work on the therapeutic set up to deal with a
given clinical case.
An exemption from this examination may be
obtained on the basis of achievement and success (rating> 9) of
group work during the academic year. The score for this work is
individual.
If a student / group score is ¿ 9 / 20, each student
is obliged to present a review of the first session in the form of
individual work to present and defend orally at the end of the year
when session in May-June
The module is compulsory. If the
absence is not justified, there will be a sanction and the grade will
be changed accordingly. Students should be in time at the course. A
delay of more than 15 minutes will be considered as an absence. All
documents that justify the absence should be submitted to the
department the day that follows the absence.
In case of
unjustified absence at the presentation on Thursday, the student's
grade (e) question (e) will be zero. The student (s) will therefore
present a personal first session, whose topic will be determined by
supervisors.
If there is no justification for the presentation on
Thursday, the student (s) will present the work of the group
individually on a date to be agreed with the supervisors. |
