Course contents :

Clinics of production animals gives you the opportunity to compare the theoretical training received, in field situations as authentic as possible. This confrontation is likely to develop your professional skills. They are diverse in nature. They concern disciplinary, organizational, relational, communicational, reflexive and personal competencies.

Ruminants clinic

Porcine clinic

Swine clinics educate students a practical way in the fields of swine health management.

Ambulatory clinic

Just like other clinical, clinical production animals gives you the opportunity to compare the theoretical training received, past or present, in field situations as authentic as possible. This confrontation is likely to develop your professional skills. They are diverse in nature. They are in effect disciplinary, organizational, relational, communicational, reflexive and personal. It seems appropriate to specify the content and give some examples achievable by the second master students.

Learning outcomes of the course :

More specifically, the learning objectives are
- Herd medicine clinic : analyses reproduction data - Ambulatory clinic : to be more familiar with the scoring of individual animals.

Porcine clinic

Swine clinics consist in different lectures and practicals.

Ambulatory clinic

- After this clinic, you will have the opportunity to view and possibly perform the functional trimming of cattle, keeping in mind a herd of vision. Furthermore, you will be given the opportunity to collect herds of field data and interpret them as a whole, integrating various parameters that you will not necessarily be seen yourself. The purpose of the outpatient clinic is also before the implementation of the collective and cooperative work, as you will be asked to live in a rural practice (collaboration with the University, food merchants, other colleagues, etc.) to find the most appropriate solution to your future customers flock problems.

Porcine clinic

An active and effective participation of these clinics you require a synthetic knowledge of physiology courses, embryology and gross anatomy and topography of swine as well as information provided within the framework of the semiotics of animals during production. Basic notions in pharmacology, surgery and ecology applied to domestic animals are required.

Porcine clinic

Practical "Restraint and weight estimation": To initiate students to restraint of pigs. Weight estimation and weighing of growers/finishers and/or sows.
Practical "Care, surgery and/or blood collection": To initiate students to process newborn piglets, castration, injections and/or blood collection from growing pigs and/or sows.
Practical "The sow": To initiate students to use ultrasound to confirm pregnancy in sows.
Practical "Parasites" : To insist (again) on the importance of some parasites in pig farms and to train students to calculate injectable and/or oral treatments for pigs.
Practical "Pet pig": To initiate students to restraint and care of/to pet pigs.
Practical "Scoring lesions": To initiate students to detect and score lesions after pig slaughtering as a help for clinical diagnosis.

Ambulatory clinic

They have been proposed in a preceding paragraph. They were developed in a specific annex available on eCampus (Course bovine Medicine / Master 2 / Additional Resources)

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

Clinical courses are face to face so as interactive as possible. Additional information and formative tests are available to learners via eCampus Exams and platforms. Attendance at these clinics is mandatory.

Assessment methods and criteria :

The department has mandated the implementation of a test before the first clinical four weeks. We will conduct a certification evaluation of your knowledge, skills and attitudes in each of the clinics. The end result will be the average of the results obtained in each of the four clinics.

Ruminants clinic

Porcine clinic

An evaluation of the knowledge-being, the knowledge and the know-how of each student will occur during the Swine clinic.

Ambulatory clinic

Whereas the real importance of these prerequisites for the success of clinical training and their success, the department has mandated the implementation of a test before the first of the 4-week clinical. We will conduct a certification evaluation of your knowledge, skills and attitudes in each of the clinics within the clinic of production animals. The end result will be the average of the results obtained in each of the four clinics.
The evaluation of clinical Learn In clinical medicine herds, each student will be asked about the teachings of semiotics and content already seen during the second master. The assessment of life skills in clinical In each clinic, knowledge will be evaluated on a scale on a scale of 0-5 (0 so late, no equipment, no prerequisite test or unjustified absence or apparent lack of interest). We emphasize that any absence be reported before the start of the clinic. A justification must be transmitted without delay to the Secretariat of the students and to the secretariat of ruminants pole (marie.Delacroix@ulg.ac.be 04 366 40 20). A clinical catching up is possible only if the absence was announced before and confirmed by a certificate after. Contact will be made by the student with the person responsible for arranging for this catch. Any unjustified absence is likely to be subject to a penalty.
