Learning outcomes
|
The course objective is to introduce students to veterinary issues in fish and bee farming. Students learn about the importance of fish and bees, their breeding and factors affecting their health and the quality of their products. They learn about the most important diseases and methods of diagnostics, therapy and prevention. The practical training follows the theoretical and is focused on the practice of handling fish and bees and on the practical investigation of fish and bees.
Theoretical knowledge The student is able: - to define the principles of fish and bee farming, - to escribe factors affecting the health of fish and bees, - to describe pathological changes typical for various diseases of fish and bees. Practical skills The student is able: - to use diagnostic procedures for fish and bee diseases, - to perform and assess a basic haematological examination of fish, - to propose a suspect diagnosis based on the performed examinations, - to propose, on the basis of the suspect diagnosis, the methods that confirm the diagnosis. Competences The student is able: - to contribute to the development of veterinary knowledge and the ?one health? concept in order to improve the health and welfare of fish and bees, - to obtain an accurate and relevant history of the individual animal or group of animals and its/their environment, - to perform a complete clinical examination and demonstrate the ability to draw clinical conclusions/make decisions, - to collect, store and transport samples, select appropriate diagnostic tests, interpret and understand the limitations of test results, - to identify symptoms indicating notifiable and zoonotic diseases, as well as abuse, and take appropriate measures including the notification to the competent authorities.
