Objectives

The student must achieve theoretical and practical knowledge on the current surgical techniques used in equine, swine and ruminants. The student must be able to select the anesthetic protocols as well as the pre and post   therapeutic protocols to differente clinical situations.

Learning outcomes and competences

During the realization of practical classes students should know and perform the procedures described pre-surgical, surgical and post-surgical, inherent to different surgical techniques performed in cattle, horses and pigs

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

The prior knowledge from other disciplines, like anatomy, clinical semiology, anesthesiology and surgical semiology  are essential  for understanding  theoretical and pratical lessons.
The knowledge of the different surgical techniques performed in cattle, horses and pigs, taught during lectures, must be present during the  practical classes.
