Other : software for ration formulation (INRATION)

Animal physiology (LBIR1324 or equivalent)

Biochemistry of nutrition (LBRAL2102 or equivalent)

- Main bovine diseases (etiology, epidemiology, symptoms, diagnosis, prognostic, prevention, treatment, vaccines')

- Basic theoretical and practical notions of ruminant nutrition ' Analysis and formulation of rations based on specific cases.

- Reproductive management and assisted reproduction in the bovine.

a. Contribution of the activity to the LO (LO from the program)

M1.1 ; M1.2 ; M2.1 ; M2.4 ; M4.2

b. LO from the program specific to this activity

At the end of this activity, the student has acquired basic knowledge on:

- the main bovine diseases occurring in our region

- the main techniques for the management of reproduction and for assisted reproduction used in cattle farming

At the end of this activity, the student is able to :

- predict the zootechnical performances (dairy production, growth rate, ') of dairy cattle, suckler cow, growing bulls on the basis of the composition of the food ration.

- analyse with a software for ration formulation a specific ration given to cattle by a farmer; calculate the dietary balance, correct it and propose a more efficient and affordable one by taking into account the factors specific to a given farm.

- understand the reproductive management and strategies applied in the farm and evaluate its performance in general.

Written and oral examinations (theory)

Oral presentation of the resolution of a specific case.

Lectures

Personal exercises with informatics tool

Resolution of specific case (during seminars)

1.    Bacterial diseases (tuberculosis, brucellosis, paratuberculosis); viral diseases (rabies, foot and mouth disease, BVD, IBR); diseases of other origins (BSE); parasitic diseases.

2.    Nutrition of dairy cows; nutrition of suckler cows, nutrition of growing bulls.

Reproductive anatomy and physiology (reminders) ; reproductive follow up (heat detection, pregnancy diagnosis) ; assisted reproduction (artificial insemination, estrus synchronization and induction, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer, gametes and embryo cryopreservation).
