Manejo sanitário e reprodutivo de ovinos e caprinos: Importância do controle sanitário e do exame clinico andrológico

Abstract

The graduation internship was linked to the Universidade Estadual do Ceará – UECE, in which activities related to ovine and caprine sanitary and reproductive control were performed. During the internship I participated in the execution of a series of breeding soundness clinic exams in rams, which aims to select males able to reproduction, since it is important for the Animal Scientist to know how to interpret the result of a breeding soundness exam. We did technical visits to rural properties in order to know the types of facilities and animal management implied: sanitary, reproductive and nutritional managements. We also performed the worm control in ovine and caprine flock with the use of the active principle monepantel, with the evaluation of fecal egg count (OPG) and deworm strategies. Those activities contributed to a better practical knowledge of specific activities of animal science, consolidating the theoretical knowledge I acquired while in college and that will highly contribute to my future professional acting as an Animal Scientist.
