Internal Diseases of Ruminants - Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Course description: The goal of the discipline is to teach students diagnostic methods and approaches to serve as the necessary starting point for the study of internal diseases of ruminants. Examination of different nosological categories from the point of etiology, pathogenesis, symptomatology, diagnosis establishment, and differential diagnostics will follow. Students must master these skills using all their knowledge achieved in the course of study of preclinical and fundamental disciplines. The study of metabolism and its defects including a system of preventive diagnostics of production diseases is another integral part of the discipline. Selected infectious diseases, parasitic diseases and clinical toxicology are on the syllabus, too. Attention is paid to differences between diagnostic methods and approaches used for calve, lamb, and kid examination and to important diseases observed in these categories of cattle and small ruminants. Upon conclusion of study of the discipline, the student must be able to diagnose and treat as well as prevent important cattle and small ruminant diseases using contemporary knowledge, the guiding principle being that only a healthy animal with adequate conversion of nutrients having a corresponding economic effect can produce high-quality, and healthy food products of full biological value.
Theoretical knowledge The student is able to explain and describe the diseases of ruminants from farm breeding and animals bred as a hobby. Practical skills The student can carry out a clinical examination of ruminants, determine the clinical symptoms of the disease, perform the necessary therapeutic procedures and operations. Competence The student is able to establish a final diagnosis after examining the animal, establish a prognosis, choose and implement an adequate solution.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral exam, Written exam, Written credit test
Conditions for granting credit: a) Completion of 100% practical teaching. One excused absence is allowed, which the student must replace with another study group. b) In case of illness, the absence is resolved by agreement with the teacher. c) Oral or written verification of knowledge during the credit procedure. The examination is carried out in the form of a practical and oral examination. During the practical exam, which takes place either in a clinic or in agricultural enterprises, the student must demonstrate the ability to examine a patient and establish a diagnosis. As part of the discussion with the examiner, he must demonstrate sufficient practical or theoretical knowledge related to the examined patient. The practical exam is provided by experienced clinic teachers from the category of assistant professors or docents. The students take the oral exam after the practical exam. During the oral exam, the student answers 2 optional questions. If necessary, additional questions are asked to the student. The final evaluation of the exam is based on both the practical exam and the oral exam.
