DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES |
The course provides the students with theoretical and practical knowledge about important veterinary and public health and skills to diagnose and prevent important livestock diseases in Pakistan.
The key objectives/outcomes of this course are;
- This course introduces the students to the basic concept of preventive medicine.
- To aware the students of the concept of modern disease diagnostic techniques.
|
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES |
Diagnosis for different common diseases of livestock will become easy for the students. They will have complete knowledge about the prevention of different diseases of farm animals. They will become familiar with control strategies to prevent epidemics of different diseases. This course will provide a piece of comprehensive knowledge about vaccines and vaccination schedules of common diseases of our farm animals. Students will be able to collect samples for disease diagnosis.

Theory
Concept of disease and health in animal and human medicine. Importance of animal diseases in the national economy, signs of health and disease. Types of animal diseases on the basis of etiology. Stress and immune system, body defence against diseases. Principles of treatment of diseases, prevention, control and eradication of diseases. Etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, control and eradication (where relevant) of important diseases/disorders of livestock (Haemorrhagicsepticaemia, Mastitis, Anthrax, Black quarter, Enterotoxaemia, Tetanus, Pleuropneumonia, Foot and Mouth disease, Rabies, Pox, Newcastle disease, Bird flu, Hemoglobinuria, Indigestion, Diarrhea, Pneumonia, Tympany, Hydrocyanic acid, nitrate &nitrite poisoning). Macro and micro element deficiencies and imbalances relevant in Pakistan. Disinfection, biosecurity and metaphalyxis. Zoonosis, WTO Accord in relation to the animal diseases prevalent in Pakistan. Drug residues, veterinary medicine in relation to human health.
Practical
Behaviour of different animal species as it relates to the practice of veterinary medicine. Demonstration of methods of restraining different animal species. Recording the cardinal parameters of health (Body temperature, pulse and respiration). Demonstration of disease diagnostic methods (palpation, auscultation, microscopic examination of feces, skin scrapings, blood, X-ray and ultrasonography. Methods of drug administration in animals (oral and parenteral). Demonstration of veterinary first aid procedures (controlling haemorrhage, dressing wounds, artificial respiration, use of splints in fractures, first aid in snake bite, heat stroke, tympany, drowning, burns, choke etc.).
