| General objectives:
The lectures of general nutrition and feeding of domestic animals ( years 1 and 2, and clinical training) aim to develop the following competence "Conceive, formulate and evaluate the effect of feeding plans on health and performances of healthy animals, on the quality of animal productions in livestock, and on health or sick animals seen in veterinary practice". In the first year, the lectures present general nutrition. General nutrition course provides a foundation in nutrients, feeds and prepares students to apply nutrition principles. During the second year, practical diet and feeding plans are explained in the following species: cattle, horses and companion animals. Feeding plans are given for healthy (cycle of life) and sick animals (clinical nutrition). Practical training (exercising) is organized during Master 1 as 7 sessions of exercises of 1.5 h each and 1 session at the experimental station. Finally, during the clinical training, the objective is to transfer knowledge (theory) and technical know-how in high-order skills as communication with the owner to obtain a complete diet history, the study and analysis of an existing feeding plan, the formulation of a balanced diet. In conclusion, the teaching of nutrition is organized in a hierarchy, and is provided between prerequisite courses (basic science knowledge : physiology, anatomy, biochemistry) and clinical training. Objectives in BAC-bloc3 Knowledge in nutrition (nutrients and feedstuff) in order to balance rations for production and companion animals. |

Breeding of production animals
|
||||||||
| This course aims to introduce students to life on the farm and its traditional activities related to the production cycle of livestock. The students will also participate actively in the management of animals and learn the basics of animal production and husbandry. | ||||||||

| The workshops are divided in three compulsory sessions.First, the online multi-modules session will be available on ecampus. Each module allows to control the new kwnoledges. The online session is compulsory and participation will be controlled. The online session must be performed before the visit to the experimental farm. The second session is about feed identification. The third session is at the experimental farm. Since the participation to all sessions is compulsory, in case of absence, the students will not be authorized to sit the exam of general nutrition in the first session.
