Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
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. |
