This unit consists of three modules. The first module examines the application of knowledge of welfare reproduction and lactation to a variety of production systems. The second module focuses on the nature, impact, cause, treatment and prevention of diseases including exotic and zoonotic diseases. The third module examines basic principles in toxicology and deals with the pharmacology and toxicology of the major chemical groups used in agriculture, and the major intoxications seen in animal production.
