Course abstract

In study course Farm animal reproduction II students will acquire such knowledge in veterinary gynaecology as diseases of reproductive organs in peripartal period, parturition, in post partum period and its meaning in infertility, and also physiology and diseases of mammary glands (udder).

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge about inherited and acquired diseases of farm animal reproductive organs and mammary glands (udder) which can cause infertility and changes in secretion of mammary glands (udder) – 4 tests
Skills to perform clinical examination of reproductive organs and mammary glands (udder), to provide emergency aid, to identify and explain pathological changes in reproductive organs including mammary glands (udder), to recommend measures providing continuous use of animals in production – practical works
Competency: according to acquired knowledge and skills write Clinical Case Report and Analysis (CCRA) from Large animal practice II related by post partum period, further reproduction or diseases of mammary glands in farm animals – CCRA work.

Course Content(Calendar)

1. Post partum pathology (trauma, ovarian disorders, inflammation of uterus) – 8 h lectures and 8 h practical works
1st test Post partum pathology
2. Ovine, goat, swine, mare, beef and dairy cattle reproduction, evaluation of reproductive parameters – 6 h lectures and 8 h practical works
2nd test Ovine, goat, swine, mare, beef and dairy cattle reproduction
3. Functional anatomy, histology, physiology, examination of udder. Clasification, diagnostics, treatment, prophylaxis of mastitis – 8 h lectures and 8 h practical works
3rd test Udder health, mastitis
4. Infertility (symptoms, inherited, functional infertility). Infectious and parasitic diseases leading to infertility – 6 h lectures and 6 h practical works
4th test Infertility
5. Presentations of CCRA – 6 h practical works

Requirements for awarding credit points

Successfully completed four tests and one Clinical Case Report and analysis work (KEGA);
Absence of lectures and practical works are not more than 30% of the total number of lessons. If missed lectures and practical works are more than 30% of the total number of lessons, then the course must be repeated.
Missed practical work with animals student performes in MPS “Vecauce” by prior arrangement with farm veterinarian.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Clinical Case Report and Analysis (CCRA) related by reproduction of farm animals (disease, methods used in reproduction etc.) where student should study in-depth analysis of the literature (at least 10 literature sources) and describe case in accordance to CCRA guidelines up to 10 pages. After submitting the written form of the paper, it should be presented orally with an illustrated PowerPoint presentation of 5 to 7 minutes, expressing the most relevant information on subject, answering questions and justifying the information provided. The work must be submitted and defended within the deadline set by the course supervisor.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

Oral and written control of knowledge (in the 10 point system) during lectures and practical works. Control of practical skills with animals. In the 9th semester four tests must be evaluated with a successful grade.. To get the final grade of the study course "passed", all tests, CCRA and oral final exam must be evaluated with a successful grade. Study course is evaluated by mean grade of previous grades.
