Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents :
1. Nutrients, feeds-foods, feeding
 Nutrient analysis (M.L. Scippo)
 Feed, food, nutraceutic, and health: facts and fiction (J.L. Hornick)
 Feeding and gut health. Alternatives to antibiotics (J. Bindelle).
 Pastoral space and human and environmentl health (J. Bindelle)


2. Breeding and society
 Non conventionnal breeding, disregarded zoonosis: contribution to food security (J. Bindelle; J.L. Hornick)
 Control of anti-parasitic substances on pasture and resistance emergence: health, ecologic and economic issues (Y. Caron).
Breeding environement - human environement (J.F. Cabaraux).  
Aquaculture - fish farming et food security (P. Kestemont)
No reproduction, no production (C. Hanzen)
Breeding biotechnologies and promises for food security
 
3. Animal production and health risks (zoonotic and non-zoonotic)
Intensification, disintensification of breeding in the world, and health risks  (N. Antoine-Moussiaux, N. Moula)
Domestic biodiversity and health risks (N. Antoine-Moussiaux; N. Moula)
 
4. Seminaries (collegiality)
5. Field visits 
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
The course aimes to provide general skills et criticism ability (evidence-based science and questionning on general allegations) when regards to the role and contribution of animal production in tropical countries at the level of food security to a large extent, both in urban and rural areas.
Will be highlighted links between feed and food (conventionnal and unconventionnal), breeding (conventionnal and unconventionnal), animal production, and the 5 transversal paths of the Master (food security, drug resistance, zoonosis, ecosystems and health, and geographic health concerns).
 
More specifics objectives are:
- Provide the sudents with pertinent informations on some keys nutrients for health.
- Give tools (evidence-based) to evaluate allegations linked to nutrition and feeding
- Identify alternative ways to drugs in food chain.
-  Elaborate SWOT analysis associated to new-breedings
- Define strategies allowing to increase or optimise animal protein availability for the South. 
  
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Knowledges stemming Physician or Veterinary studies.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
Theoretical courses, practical teaching, tutorials.
Fields visits.
Open-thematic seminaries, according to opportunities or requests, or when visiting of foreign experts.
Deep intercation between teacher and students (box voting, table rounds, restitutions).
Modern pedagogical methods (box voting, video capsules).
  
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Most of teachings will be provided face-to-face. In some cases, distance learning will be organised.
Recommended or required readings :
Course notes available on eCampus, as well as other supports. An active and up-to-date literature research will be expected, as a base to debates and restitutions.
Assessment methods and criteria :
Oral presentation of a personnal or collaborative work with a matching paper document as evaluative test. 
Work placement(s) :
A contextual trainingship is foreseen in the general context of the Master (see Pedagogical Comitment associated). 
Organizational remarks :
The teaching is expected to be multi- or interdisciplinary, in agreement with the other Teaching Units, and the Paths of the Master.
