1 BSc (Veterinary Biosciences) Level 1 Animal Production and Management - 1 ( ) 10 Credits Course Co-ordinator: Professor J J Parkins Position in Course: Year 1 Semester 1 Course prerequisites: None Course corequisites: Courses Chemistry 1 (402B) (Chemistry) Biology 1A (Animal biology) (KNPU) (FBLS) Biology 1B (Cell biology) (KNMU) (FBLS) Basic mammalian body plan 1 (FVM) Comparative vertebrate morphology 1 (FVM) Body systems physiology 1 (FVM) Credits Excluded courses or course combinations: None 1
2 Aims The aims of this course are to: give participants the means of acquiring a broad-based knowledge and understanding of the major farm animal production systems ranging from instruction on basic agronomy and animal environments through to an overview of the rural economy of the UK. demonstrate and facilitate the acquisition of animal handling skills and provide experience of practical farm animal working environments at key points in annual production cycles. encourage awareness of contemporary animal production in contributing to the well-being of animals and man and of the ethical and welfare issues which surround these. allow students to prepare foundation knowledge prior to their later study of advanced animal nutrition and welfare topics. Intended Learning Outcomes After completing this course you should be able to: describe the underpinning biological and production processes involved in modern farm animal systems in the UK. restrain, body condition score and age cattle and sheep. recognise and describe the stages of production of farm animals on-farm. obtain, recall and explain material gathered for preparing topic tasks. write concise and informative reports from self-directed work. show proficiency in the use of computer web-based and library search engines to obtain information for project topics. demonstrate collaboration with others in investigating specified topics and solving problems. Teaching Methods Lectures Farm-based practical classes and other field visits Self-directed study Collaborative Learning Assignments Tutorials Assessment Summative Students will be required to produce two coursework essays, each comprising 15% of the summative assessment. The end-of-course examination (70% of the summative assessment) will consist of a 1.5-hour paper consisting of short essay questions where a choice of question will be offered and compulsory multiple-choice questions. 2
3 Lecturing Staff - to be agreed Teaching Methods and Hours: Animal Production and Management 1 will be delivered during the first semesters of Year 1. The course will be comprised of a weekly lecture schedule, practical classes and will be complemented by self-directed assignments. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Moodle virtual learning environment system will be used to access lecture PowerPoint presentations and all written notes. Recommended reading: Students should visit the DEFRA website and download and print the booklets on welfare codes for the different domestic species listed on: - There are no specific books requiring to be purchased for this course.
