SCVET2001 Animal Management and Disease
This unit will analyse the basic parameters of animal health with respect to symptomatic observation and measurement of disturbance to body function through to clinical diagnostic methods. Disease states will be explored as case studies of common diseases in farm and pet animals and via analysis of the impacts of disease on the various organ systems of the body. Disease treatment and control methods will be described together with basic information on microbial infection systems relevant to animal protection and treatment. Information concerning specific health issues in various species will be explored via a number of examples. Specialist lectures from animal welfare and veterinary staff will be used to detail these examples and provide practical contexts. Field studies will explore the techniques and analyses of modern veterinary medicine.
