Aim This series of lectures and practical classes is designed to provide the clinical knowledge and practical skills in equine medicine, surgery, reproduction and anaesthesia that students will be expected to further develop and demonstrate in the fifth year of the BVSc programme.

Calendar Prescription This paper integrates knowledge of structure, function and abnormalities of body systems taught in previous papers, with information about equine diseases. This enables the student to diagnose diseases affecting horses, and to propose rational treatment and management. The paper will deal with aspects of medicine, surgery, reproduction, imaging and pharmacotherapy of horses, centred on a diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the sick animal. Learning modalities include lectures, tutorials, self‐directed learning and practicals. The paper also includes application of surgical and anaesthetic principles in teaching laboratories designed to develop surgical conscience and behaviours consistent with the practice of minimal tissue trauma, asepsis and competence in simple elective surgical and anaesthetic procedures.

Pre- and Co-requisites 227.402 is a compulsory paper for BVSc IV students. Enrolment in this paper requires prior passing of all papers in BVSc III under the conditions specified in the BVSc regulations.

Learning Outcomes On completion of the paper students should be able to: 1) Take and record basic history (i.e. ask a number of relevant, targeted, diagnostically useful

questions) concerning a putatively ill horse, or a group of ill horses. 2) Safely perform a thorough, complete physical examination of a horse and identify

abnormalities and offer coherent interpretation(s) of any abnormalities found. At this stage in the student’s development, the abnormalities that the student would be expected to identify would be described by an experienced equine veterinarian as “obvious” or “readily detectable”.

19

3) Deduce from fundamental clinical information (e.g. history, physical examination findings,

results of blood tests, urinalysis etc.) an accurately stated problem list. 4) Explain the underlying pathophysiology of significant equine diseases (taught largely in

previous papers). 5) Identify and correctly interpret the clinical signs and results of diagnostic tests associated

with important equine diseases. 6) Construct rational treatment, management and preventative strategies for common equine

diseases and injuries. 7) Use information sources to identify material relevant to equine disease, and be able to

critically evaluate the relevance and reliability of such information. 8) Evaluate ethical and communication issues relevant to equine practice.

Assessment In 227.402, several assessment components contribute towards the final grade. These will include a semester one written examination, a final written examination, a final practical examination, a mastery skills test and a client communication / ethics group assignment and presentation. Semester one written examination (20% total grade) Final written examination (40% total grade) Final practical examination (25% total grade) Mastery skills test (12% total grade) Client communication assignment (3% total grade) Written Examinations All material covered during the lectures, tutorials, case‐based learning opportunities, and CALVE/STREAM resources will be examinable. The semester one written examination will assess progress towards all of the paper’s learning outcomes and include material presented up to the end of semester one teaching. This examination may be held out of normal university hours, unless scheduled in the official University semester one examination period. The final written examination may assess all learning outcomes, include material presented at any time during the paper, and require integration of knowledge already presented in previous papers of the BVSc degree course. Practical Examination All material covered during the practical classes will be examinable. The practical examination(s) may include any practical skill performed, discussed or demonstrated in the practical classes during the paper, and any supportive theoretical information pertinent to the practical skill being examined. Material from the teaching CD’s listed under ‘textbooks and recommended reading’, and any of the interactive cases / tutorials on CALVE/STREAM are also examinable.

Requirements to Pass the Paper Attendance at all practical classes and examinations is compulsory. Failure to attend practical classes may result in failure of the paper even if a passing grade overall is achieved for the year. If a practical class is missed, a medical certificate will be required. To obtain a pass in 227.402 the following requirements must be satisfied:

A pass in mastery skills must be obtained prior to sitting the final written and practical exam and will contribute 12% of the total grade for the paper.

An overall grade of 60% must be obtained to pass the whole paper.

A grade ≥ 50% must be obtained in both the final written and final practical examinations.

Satisfactory document preparation for, attendance at, and participation in all tutorials and practical classes.

Failure to complete any of these requirements will lead to a DNC unless covered by the Aegrotat regulations.

Deadlines and Penalties Not applicable.

Conditions for Aegrotat Pass If you are prevented by illness, injury or a serious crisis from attending an examination, or another compulsory assessment element that occurs at a fixed time and place, you may apply for an aegrotat consideration. To qualify for an aegrotat pass on the final examination, you must have attempted at least 40% of the total formal assessment and your performance must be well above the minimum pass standard, so that the examiners can be confident that you would have passed the paper if you had completed the final examination. You may also apply for aegrotat consideration for other compulsory assessment elements (such as semester tests) that occur at a fixed time and place if you are prevented by illness, injury or a serious crisis from attending. You must apply on the form available from the Examinations Office, the Student Health Service or the Student Counselling Service.

Conditions for Impaired Performance If you consider that your performance in, or preparation for, an examination, or another compulsory assessment element that occurs at a fixed time and place, has been seriously impaired by illness, injury or a serious crisis, you may apply for an impaired performance consideration. You must apply on the form available from the Examinations Office, the Student Health Service or the Student Counselling Service.

Plagiarism Massey University, College of Sciences, has taken a firm stance on plagiarism and any form of cheating. Plagiarism is the copying or paraphrasing of another person’s work, whether published or unpublished, without clearly acknowledging it. It includes copying the work of other students. Plagiarism will be penalised; it is likely to lead to loss of marks for that item of assessment and may lead to an automatic failing grade for the paper and / or exclusion from enrolment at the University.

Proposed Feedback and Support for Student Learning Academic staff contributing to 227.402 are available to help students with learning problems and an open‐door policy for students is practised. Individual staff members can be contacted by phone or email to make an appointment.

Additional Information and Advice When working with live horses in this paper students must follow the Massey University, Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences horse handling Standard Operating Procedure at all times. See appendix 1 over page. During this course you will be expected to work in close contact with potentially dangerous animals. If you think you have a mental or physical health problem that may affect your performance during the course activities, you are strongly encouraged to consult the paper co‐ordinator. The student health service should be consulted if you are in doubt. Provision of this information is voluntary, but it is important that you make known any health conditions that may affect your health and safety or the health and safety of others.

29

Appendix 1 The following are extracts from the BVSc V Course Guide relevant to 227.402 equine practical classes.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR HANDLING HORSES AT THE MASSEY EQUINE HOSPITAL

1) Clothing

Protective footwear must be worn. Strong leather boots, with thick soles and steel toe‐caps are strongly recommended when handling horses.

Boiler suits must be worn, as loosely fitting clothes can flap around and may frighten the horse or may get caught in tack.

Protruding rings, bracelets, necklaces, large earrings or any other protruding facial jewellery must not be worn when handling horses. Wearing a watch is acceptable – provided it is easily removable in an emergency.

Long hair must be worn tied back. 2) Possible Indicators of Aggressive Equine Behaviour

Notice on box door indicating “Dangerous”, “Kicks”, “May Bite”, etc.

Ears drawn back.

Showing whites of eye.

Tail swishing.

Lifting of a Hind or Front limb ‐ that may precede striking out or a full kick.

Pawing at the ground.

Head bolt upright.

Head held extended and low.

Horse turning to keep its hind quarters facing your direction.

Particular care must be paid to stallions, mares with foals at foot and mares in season.

If the owner or any other person indicates that a horse may be aggressive, do not handle that horse without discussing it with a member of staff.

3) Approaching a Horse

Students should normally work in pairs.

Make the horse aware of your presence from a distance by talking to it.

Always talk to horse in a confident tone of voice.

Outstretch a hand ‐ allowing the horse to smell the palm of your hand but being careful not to get bitten.

If approaching from behind ‐ take extreme caution around the hind quarters giving the horse a wide berth (out of kicking range).

If the horse is in a stable ‐ open the door carefully, not allowing the horse to escape, yet allowing enough room for you to rapidly exit if needed.

At this point decide if it is safe to handle the horse or whether it is safer to get help with the horse from a groom or veterinary surgeon.

Continually gauge and reassess the horse’s mood and temperament [see previous page].

Continue to talk to the horse in a cautious yet confident manner.

Make further contact with the animal by patting its nose, face or neck.

30

4) Handling the horse

In order to be in control of the horse in any situation, the horse must be physically restrained ‐ most commonly with the use of a head collar or bridle, therefore students must be able to fit a head collar and bridle.

Other methods of restraint include the use of a Stallion or Chiffney bit, a hand twitch on the skin of the neck or nose twitch.

Twitches normally should not be applied by students without a groom or veterinary surgeon being present.

Stand to one side of the horse if the horse is being restrained, not directly in front, especially when using a nose twitch.

Never drop or allow lead ropes to trail on the ground.

Never wrap a lead rope around your fingers or hand.

Never place fingers inside rings or buckles of head collars or bridles.

Never tie‐up a horse with the lead rope attached to a Chiffney.

When tying up a horse always tie the lead rope to a piece of twine rather than directly to a solid metal ring.

5) When leading the horse

Always walk by the horse’s shoulder, preferably by the near (left) side.

Do not allow the horse to get too far ahead or too far behind when leading it.

When leading from the near side, have the lead rope passing through your right hand and the rest of the lead rope in your left hand.

Always hold onto lead rope, below the lead‐rope clip.

Do not hold onto the halter or the lead rope clip.

Never wrap the lead rope around your hand or fingers.

Keep the lead rope in loose loops off the ground – this allows the handler to take more or less lead rope away in a controlled yet prompt fashion.

If the horse pulls back it usually is best to not pull on the lead rope.

If you are not confident leading a particular horse, please inform the staff and a groom can lead it.

6) Holding a horse for another person

Horses may need to be held to allow another person to perform tasks such as applying a stable bandage or for veterinary procedures.

The handler should be on the same side of the horse as the person they are helping; both must not be between the horse and an adjacent wall.

The handler should control the horse vocally and physically, whilst monitoring the horse’s behaviour [see page 23] continually and should convey information about the horse’s behaviour to the person who is dealing with the animal.

7) Other General Points to Remember

While it is essential that the above safety guidelines should always be adhered to, remember that the vast majority of horses are easily handled and do not intend you any harm.

When closely examining or treating horses, especially their legs and feet, as a general rule the closer you are to the horse, the safer you are.

31

8) Performing specific procedures with horses There are different risks of injury when performing various investigative and treatment procedures with horses, e.g. performing nerve blocks, putting horses in stocks, performing endoscopy, examining a horse with a metal full mouth speculum on or during treadmill exercise. The risks for these individual procedures are continually assessed by senior clinicians and written standard operating procedures (SOPs) are available for all such procedures to minimise the risk of injury to personnel and patients. These SOPs are available in the treatment area pharmacy. Students and visitors MUST read and understand these SOPs before performing designated procedures. If when attempting to take the horse’s temperature the horse is in anyway difficult, do not persevere and be at risk of being kicked, inform the veterinary surgeon that it has not been possible to safely take its temperature and the horse can then be placed in stocks under supervision to have its temperature taken.

9) Health and Safety

Students are reminded to take great care with regard for personal safety when handling animals and working with patients and equipment in the hospitals.

Stallions (and bulls) should only be handled under direct supervision of senior yard personnel or clinicians.

Safety helmets are available in the yard office and should be worn when appropriate, and specifically when riding and while handling stallions or mares during breeding procedures.

Unless on advice of a clinician to attend a horse alone, two students will enter a box to attend a horse.

Read and implement the Codes of Practice posted on walls in appropriate areas.

Dispose of glass, sharps, household waste and clinical waste in appropriate containers.

Nosocomial Infections: Be particularly aware of ringworm on horses and bring any suspect lesions to the attention of a clinician.

Wash hands between handling all cases wherever possible.

Wear gloves and bootees when handling ‘high risk’ patients (notified on box door), especially post‐operative patients.

Requirements to successfully complete the paper Attendance at practicals is compulsory. Students must discuss with the paper coordinator the reason for any absence. A satisfactory performance in the practical classes is required for a pass in the paper. Students MUST attain a 50% pass mark in the final written exam and also 60% in the final practical exam in order to pass this paper.


Conditions for Aegrotat Pass and Impaired Performance If you are prevented by illness, injury or serious crisis from attending an examination or test (or completing an element of assessment by the due date), or if you consider that your performance has been seriously impaired by such circumstances, you may apply for aegrotat or impaired performance consideration. You must apply on the form available from the Examinations Office, the Student Health service or the Student Counselling Service. To qualify for an aegrotat pass on your final examination your performance in the other elements of assessment must be well above the minimum pass standard.

Proposed Feedback and Support for Student Learning Students are encouraged to seek informal feedback or assistance of all staff involved at any time. Most often this occurs during practicals or lectures. More formal feedback is given following the written examination at the end of the first semester.

Textbook(s) and Other Recommended Reading The sheep component of this course largely follows the book ‘The Sheep: Health, Disease and Production’ by D.M.West, A.N.Bruere and A.L. Ridler. Purchase of, or access to, this book is highly recommended. It is available from the Foundation for Veterinary Continuing Education at a student rate. Other useful texts include ‘Reproductive Management of Grazing Ruminants in New Zealand’ and ‘Managing Trace Element Deficiencies’. Other useful material is published in the annual proceedings of the Society of Sheep and Beef Cattle Veterinarians. The most helpful journals include the New Zealand Veterinary Journal, the

38

Australian Veterinary Journal, the Veterinary Record, and Surveillance. Once in practice you will find that the best way to keep abreast of new ideas is to join the Society, attend annual seminars and regularly scan the important journals. In addition, the Foundation for Veterinary Continuing Education provides on‐line information for veterinarians in practice and conducts workshop courses building to Post Graduate diplomas or Masterates. The annual proceedings of the deer branch of the New Zealand Veterinary association and the New Zealand Veterinary Journal are recommended reading.

Additional Costs The book ‘The Sheep: Health, Disease and Production’.

Additional advice The lecture course and practicals in Sheep, Deer and Goat Health and Production are presented in a problem solving way to assist you in applying your knowledge to deal with common problems likely to be presented by your clients. Involving yourself in these problem‐solving exercises is the best way to learn. The majority of lectures are available on the STREAM website on the 227.403 site. Students should specifically endeavour to get farm and veterinary experience with deer.

Conditions for Aegrotat Pass and Impaired Performance If you are prevented by illness, injury or serious crisis from attending an examination (or completing an element of assessment by the due date), or if you consider that your performance has been seriously impaired by such circumstances, you may apply for aegrotat or impaired performance consideration. You must apply on the form available from the Examinations Office, the Student Health Service or the Student Counseling Service. To qualify for an aegrotat pass on the final examination, you must have attempted at least 40% of the total formal assessment and your performance must be well above the minimum pass standard, so that the examiners can be confident that you would have passed the paper if you had completed the final examination. You may also apply for aegrotat consideration for other compulsory assessment elements (such as semester tests) that occur at a fixed time and place if you are prevented by illness, injury or a serious crisis from attending.

Plagiarism Massey University, College of Sciences, has taken a firm stance on plagiarism and any form of cheating. Plagiarism is the copying or paraphrasing of another person’s work (whether published or unpublished) without clearly acknowledging it. It includes copying the work of other students. Plagiarism will be penalized; it is likely to lead to loss of marks for that item of assessment and may lead to an automatic failing grade for the paper and / or exclusion from re‐enrolment at the University.

E-learning category This paper is web‐assisted with most lecture material being made available on the STREAM website under 227.404. In addition to lecture material, an up‐to‐date lecture timetable and other information about assignments and quizzes will be listed periodically on STREAM.

Aim To develop a logical approach to the identification and management of constraints to cattle production systems and to understand the causes, signs, treatments and prognosis of the major diseases of cattle in New Zealand.

Learning Outcomes On successful completion of this paper a student will be able to: 1. Appraise dairy and beef cattle farming enterprises to identify health and management

factors that are limiting profitability. 2. Effectively communicate with farm staff to determine those factors for which improvement

is both feasible and economically beneficial. 3. Set achievable goals for these improvements and then formulate a plan to implement the

required changes and to monitor progress. 4. Perform a precise and thorough clinical examination of the cow to recognise the clinical

signs of the commonly occurring bovine conditions in New Zealand and propose reasonable differential diagnoses using safe and effective cattle handling skills that maximise animal welfare and operator safety while maintaining a professional image.

5. To diagnose disease, formulate a reasonable treatment plan (considering cost‐benefit and

animal welfare within this plan) and develop herd‐level preventive measures where appropriate.

6. Accept your responsibilities as a veterinarian with regards veterinary professional and

ethical behaviour.

Assessment All assessments relate to the learning outcomes with an emphasis on integrating knowledge from earlier in the course relating to anatomy, physiology, agronomy, microbiology, virology, pathology and pharmacology. The assessments are designed to ensure that this information is integrated in a holistic manner that allows the students to understand the pathogenesis and treatment of disease. It is essential that students can apply this knowledge in a practical setting and is not simply rote learning information.

Attendance at all practical classes is compulsory, a roll will be taken. If you cannot attend for any reason please contact the staff member responsible or paper coordinator as soon as possible and arrange for an opportunity to make up this experience.

Assignments 1) Client Report

Students are to work individually on this assignment. You will be given a set of laboratory results or a post mortem report and are to write a report to the client explaining these results and, where appropriate, explaining what has happened and measures to correct or prevent the condition(s). The report should be written as a letter to Joe Bloggs, Farm Road, RD 4, Palmerston North. Report writing is a skill that you must develop, being able to convey information in a manner that will be understood by the general public. The layout of reports (font, headings, bullet points, spacing) has a major impact on whether they are read, understood and the recommendations taken up. The report should be at least 2 sides of A4 (with appropriate headings and spacing) but should be no more than 4 sides of A4. Use your initiative to decide on what material needs to be included but the client should clearly understand what (if anything) was wrong with the animal(s), what they should do next and whether any further testing is required and if there are any implications for the rest of the herd. The assignment will be marked with an emphasis on the quality of the presentation, your level of understanding of the problem and your ability to communicate with the client. The assignment is due in by 4pm on Friday 20th July. Please hand in a hard copy of the assignment to the Undergraduate Assignment box. Assignments handed in after this date (without a medical certificate) will be marked but will only receive 50% of the marks. Marking scheme Spelling and grammar 10 marks Layout and presentation 20 marks Knowledge 20 marks Writing style 20 marks Jenny Weston is in charge of this assignment so please see her for any queries.

2) Case Report

Students are to work individually on this assignment. Choose one bovine case that was seen during the 2 weeks of Spring Dairy Medicine in August 2012 and write a report that would be suitable to forward to the client that summarises (in plain language):

48

The clinical problem and any predisposing factors

How the case was managed (include treatments and withholding periods)

Prognosis for the cow/herd

Any recommendations for further care or prevention of future cases

Costs associated with the visit In addition, append an extra section (that would not go to the client) that reflects on case management, animal welfare implications of the case and the professional behaviour of the attending veterinarian. Any details that identify the veterinarian or client involved should be withheld to guarantee confidentiality Marking Scheme Layout / presentation 10 Spelling / grammar 10 Appropriate language (farmer level) and writing style 20 Knowledge / logic / understanding / informative 30 Level of reflection 30 Due in (hand in hard copy to the Undergraduate Assignment box) by 4pm on September 21st. Assignments handed in after this date (without a medical certificate) will be marked but will only receive 50% of the marks.

Requirements to successfully complete the paper Attendance at all practical classes is compulsory. The pass mark for the paper is 60% and all students must also achieve a minimum pass mark of 50% in the end of year written exam.

Learning Programme and Schedule Students should have completed their farm practical work by this stage of the course as an understanding of farming systems is essential to the material in this paper. The lecture and practical schedule will cover the material in the learning outcomes and this will be complimented by the 2‐weeks of spring dairy medicine that will be undertaken in late July/August as part of the final year compulsory curriculum.

EXAMS

Student time budget There are approximately 60‐hours of lectures and it is highly recommended that you attend these. In addition, there will be approximately 36‐hours of practical classes. Approximately the same time again (90‐100 hours) should be spent in reading around the subject and completing assignments. Timetables for lectures and practical classes will be posted on the STREAM website and updated as required or notices will be placed on the class notice board in the corridor to Vet 1.

53

Proposed feedback and support for student learning Every attempt will be made to return assignments in a timely manner and with feedback but due to the large class size this may take slightly longer. Answers to the quizzes will not be made directly available as these quizzes are likely to be used in future years. The return of exam papers is available through the usual channels. Students are requested to directly approach lecturers with questions during the year and participation in lectures is actively encouraged. Contacting lecturers in person at the end of the lecture or by email is recommended.

Textbooks and other recommended reading Diseases of Cattle in Australasia, Parkinson, Vermunt & Malmo (2010). This book is available for purchase from the VetLearn office on the 1st floor of the Vet Tower. It is recommended that students intending to work in large animal or mixed practice purchase this book. A folder of reference material will be provided for each student that contains information that supplements the lecture material. Most of the important information for this paper will be covered through the readings or in the above‐mentioned textbook and it is highly recommended that you read this information in advance of the relevant lectures. Lectures will mainly be used to put this material in the context of the major disease conditions that you are likely to encounter on NZ farms and the practical management of these diseases rather than covering the basic information that has already been conveyed in microbiology, virology and parasitology lectures. Other useful texts include:

Veterinary Medicine 9th edition; Radostits, Gay, Blood & Hinchcliff. WB Saunders. Available through the Veterinary Bookshop.

Large Animal Internal Medicine 2nd edition; Bradford Smith; Mosby.

Bovine Medicine 2nd edition; Andrews, Blowey, Boyd & Eddy; 2004; Blackwell Scientific Publishing.

Bovine Surgery and Lameness 2nd edition; Weaver, St Jean & Steiner 2005; Blackwell Publishing.

The following are recommended as general reading around the paper and may be useful if you intend to go into large animal practice:

Milk Production from Pasture; CW Holmes, IM Brookes, DJ Garrick, DDS McKenzie, TJ Parkinson, GF Wilson; 2002. Available from Bennetts bookshop.

Lameness in Cattle 3rd edition; Greenough & Weaver, WB Saunders.

Mastitis Control in Dairy Herds; Blowey & Edmondson; Farming Press Books, Ipswich, UK.

Veterinary Clinical Toxicology 2nd edition; Parton, Bruere & Chambers. Available from VetLearn.

54

Society of Dairy Cattle Veterinarians of the NZVA Proceedings of Conferences available on SciQuest, newsletters also available in the Library or you can subscribe as a student member (see Jenny Weston).

A general text on reproduction is also invaluable and two are recommended:

Reproductive Management of Grazing Ruminants in NZ (available from the NZ Society of Animal Production).

Veterinary Reproduction & Obstetrics 9th edition; Noakes et al; WB Saunders (covers production animals, equine and companion animals).

Conditions for Aegrotat Pass and Impaired Performance If you are prevented by illness, injury or serious crisis from attending an examination (or completing an element of assessment by the due date), or if you consider that your performance has been seriously impaired by such circumstances, you may apply for aegrotat or impaired performance consideration. You must apply on the form available from the Examinations Office, the Student Health Service or the Student Counseling Service. To qualify for an aegrotat pass on the final examination, you must have attempted at least 40% of the total formal assessment and your performance must be well above the minimum pass standard, so that the examiners can be confident that you would have passed the paper if you had completed the final examination. You may also apply for aegrotat consideration for other compulsory assessment elements (such as semester tests) that occur at a fixed time and place if you are prevented by illness, injury or a serious crisis from attending.

Plagiarism Massey University, College of Sciences, has taken a firm stance on plagiarism and any form of cheating. Plagiarism is the copying or paraphrasing of another person’s work (whether published or unpublished) without clearly acknowledging it. It includes copying the work of other students. Plagiarism will be penalized; it is likely to lead to loss of marks for that item of assessment and may lead to an automatic failing grade for the paper and / or exclusion from reenrollment at the University.

Aim This series of lectures and practical classes is designed to provide the knowledge and practical skills in medicine, surgery and anaesthesia of companion animals that students will be expected to demonstrate and develop further in the fifth year of the BVSc programme. Case studies in lectures and practical classes will illustrate the application and sourcing of knowledge, and enhance critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Calendar Prescription The aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of common and important medical and surgical conditions of companion animals; including dogs, cats, caged birds, reptiles, rodents, lagomorphs and other species commonly kept as companions. The paper also includes application of surgical and anaesthetic principles in teaching laboratories designed to develop competence in simple elective surgical and anaesthetic procedures.

Learning Outcomes On completion of the paper the student should be able to: 1. Explain the aetiology and pathophysiology of common and significant medical and surgical

disorders of companion animals. 2. Correctly take a history, perform a complete clinical examination, interpret the clinical signs

and results of diagnostic investigations, and prepare medical records in SOAP format, in the evaluation of these disorders applying a problem oriented approach

3. Formulate and justify a suitable diagnostic plan, formulate an effective treatment plan for medical and surgical conditions of companion animals, and explain potential adverse effects and contra‐indications for procedures and therapeutics.

4. Understand the indications and process for referral of a patient to a specialist for diagnosis and/or treatment of surgical and medical disorders of companion animals

5. Explain and correctly apply techniques to obtain analgesia, anaesthesia and aseptic surgical technique in order to minimise pain, patient discomfort, patient risk and tissue damage in healthy and diseased animals

6. Be competent in the induction, maintenance, support and monitoring of general anaesthesia of companion animals, justify the chosen anaesthetic protocol and perform simple anaesthetic and routine surgical manipulations in healthy animals

7. Understand and apply essential intensive care techniques, monitoring and diagnostic investigations in companion animals and justify decision making in critical care patients

8. Interpret diagnostic imaging findings, safely perform and justify selection of imaging techniques in companion animal practice with an understanding of physics, film processing and correct patient positioning

9. Write and communicate using correct veterinary terminology, work independently and in a team, and be confident in searching of the literature and interpretation of information in a critical and analytical manner

59

10. Understand and manage personnel relationships within a veterinary practice and the role of the veterinarian in the stages and management of grief when a client’s pet dies

11. Be able to effectively communicate the above concepts using language understandable to lay persons.

60

The Final Written Examinations will include approximately 75% questions from material covered in Semester 2 and 25% from Semester 1. The practical examinations may include any practical task performed in the practical classes during the year, and any supportive theoretical information pertinent to the practical skill being examined. Also see below “Requirements to Successfully Complete the Paper”.

Student Time Budget A 38 credit paper over two semesters requiring a commitment of 476.5 hours. Students are expected to devote 16 hours / week to 227.405, of which 9‐10 hours / week are contact hours. Lectures 124 hours Practical classes 100 hours In class examinations 2 hours Semester One examination 3 hours Final examinations 5.5 hours Practical examinations 2 hours Personal Study 240 hours Total 476.5 hours

Requirements to Successfully Complete the Paper Attendance at all practical classes, tutorials and examinations is compulsory. Failure to attend may result in failure of the paper even if a passing grade overall is achieved for the year. If any of the above are missed due to illness, a doctor’s certificate will be required. Students must discuss with the paper co‐coordinator the reason for any absence.


Conditions for Aegrotat Pass and Impaired Performance Students who consider their performance has been impaired, or who have been unable to attend an examination due to ill‐health or injury, may apply to have the reasons for any impairment taken into consideration. An “Application for Impaired Performance” form can be obtained from the Examinations Office, Student Health centre or Student Counselling Services. The completed application and supporting documentation are must be submitted to the Examination Section. An Aegrotat pass can be considered only when the student has shown satisfactory performance above the minimum pass requirements by assessment in the current year. An Aegrotat pass in 227.405 can be considered if the student has performed satisfactorily in the end of semester one exam, the in‐class exams, and one of the two final written examinations. In addition, the student may be asked to complete either or both practical examinations at a special examination time. Impaired Performance and Aegrotat Pass are not automatically approved. The request is considered at the examiners meeting at the end of the examination period and a recommendation is made to the Academic Director.

61

Proposed Feedback and Support for Student Learning Feedback will be provided on the Semester 1 examination. In addition, the lecturers can discuss the examination questions and answers on an individual basis on request. Academic staff contributing to 227.405 are available to help students with learning problems and an open‐door policy for students is practised. Individual staff members can be contacted by phone or email to make an appointment. Hospitalised animals are available for students to practise clinical examination techniques at times outside scheduled practical classes. A veterinary nurse in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital is available to allocate an animal and supervise the student at a mutually convenient time.

Additional Information and Advice Attendance of practical classes is compulsory. The practical examination at the end of the year contributes a significant proportion of the final marks. If a student is unavoidably absent from a practical class, notification has to be given to the staff member supervising the class. In some circumstances, it can be arranged for the practical material to be available at another time or alternative material can be provided. Clean protective clothing in practical classes is essential. Sandals or jandals are not acceptable in the hospital or clinic areas. For production animal classes, overalls and solid protective footwear / gumboots are required. In small animal, avian, small mammal and anaesthesia classes, a clean white laboratory coat and solid footwear are required. Students will be refused attendance at practical classes if not suitably attired and safely dressed.

Paper Number and Title: 227.406 – Pig and Poultry Health Production & Management Credits value: 7 Semester: 2 Campus: Manawatu Mode: Internal Paper Coordinator

Eric Neumann, Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences, EpiCentre, phone (06) 356 9099 ext 5274, e‐mail: [email protected].

Other Contributing Staff Associate Professor Patrick Morel, Institute of Food, Nutrition and Human Health, phone (06) 350 5338, e‐mail: [email protected].

Aim To provide veterinary graduates with an understanding of the disease, management and nutritional factors which affect health and production in pigs, and the particular issues that relate to intensive animal production (pigs and poultry). After completion of the course graduates should be competent to conduct a herd investigation involving history‐taking, assessment of records, clinical examination and sample collection in order to reach a diagnosis for common pig diseases, and to differentiate these from problems associated with suboptimal nutrition, housing or management, be able to recommend control methods for common diseases and administer or prescribe commonly used treatments, have a balanced assessment of the likelihood of occurrences of different diseases in pigs, understand the unique issues that are of importance to intensive animal production, and be familiar with intensive animal production systems.

Calendar Prescription Medicine, surgery, management and productivity of pigs and poultry. Farm management and production systems and the relationship between management systems, productivity and patterns of disease. The aetiology, pathogenesis and diagnosis of disease. Treatment of disease, including the restoration of animals to normal levels of productivity. The application of health and production programmes to pigs and domestic poultry. Housing of pigs and poultry, aspects of indoor and outdoor management of pigs, and aspects of genetics and nutrition are also included.

Pre- and Co-requisites Third year BVSc pass.

78

Learning Outcomes 1) Have a working knowledge of pig production, especially management, nutrition, genetics,

reproduction and growth. 2) Understand the principles of least cost ration formulation. 3) Understand how pig or poultry health interacts with management and production. 4) Have a basic knowledge of the housing and environmental requirements of intensively

farmed animals. 5) Be able to use data as an aid to diagnosis through an understanding of basic epidemiological

principles. 6) Be able to identify strategies by which disease or productivity problems can be managed or

prevented in intensive animal production systems, considering the special diagnostic difficulties which make clinical examination a limited technique in the pig and chicken.

7) Gain a working knowledge of pig diseases.

Conditions for Aegrotat Pass and Impaired Performance If you are prevented by illness, injury or serious crisis from attending an examination (or completing an element of assessment by the due date), or if you consider that your performance has been seriously impaired by such circumstances, you may apply for aegrotat or impaired performance consideration. You must apply on the form available from the Examinations Office, the Student Health Service or the Student Counseling Service. To qualify for an aegrotat pass on the final examination, you must have attempted at least 40% of the total formal assessment and your performance must be well above the minimum pass standard, so that the examiners can be confident that you would have passed the paper if you had completed the final examination. You may also apply for aegrotat consideration for other
