1. theoretical knowledge The student is able to: - classify poisons, can describe their main sources and mechanisms of action of toxic substances, - deduce the clinical symptoms of individual poisonings, even in relation to interspecies differences, they can describe a typical pathological finding in individual types of poisoning, - describe the methods of laboratory analysis used to detect toxins in samples and the principles of these methods, - and they can identify suitable samples for the detection of a particular poison, - depending on the year of study, students can propose and justify the basic treatment of a given type of poisoning, - name poisons which, in addition to having a direct effect on animals, can contaminate the environment and the food chain, and explain what impact they will have. 2. practical skills The student is able to: - process samples intended for basic toxicological examinations, - analyse tissue, blood, feed water and feed samples using spectrophotometry (haemoglobin derivatives), titration (simple inorganic substances and ions), thin-layer chromatography (pesticides), coagulometry (blood coagulation cascade). 3. competences The student is able to: - independently assess the potential risk of poisoning in certain circumstances and assess interspecies sensitivity, - keep a proper investigation protocol of poisoning, can name its requirements, and explain its specifics for individual animal species, - based on case studies, synthesize information from the area of differential diagnosis of poisoning and the area of the evaluation of clinical and pathological-anatomical symptoms of poisoning. They can propose solutions to the situation both in terms of therapy and prevention of the risk of poisoning to other animals or environmental components, - evaluate the results of toxicological analyses against the legal maximum limits and physiological values and compare them to the toxicological parameters of lethal doses and concentrations, - interpret the legal consequences of accidental and intentional poisoning.
