The Animal Ethnography course provides the essential characteristics needed to identify the main breeds that have been selected by man. The teaching unit presents the diversity of animals that the future veterinarian will encounter in his or her profession, and the specificities of their use. The course and assessment are given in English to encourage active learning of this language in a discipline of veterinary interest.
The course presents the major characteristics of breeds in 7 species categories on the basis of comparative criteria. The selection includes the main breeds of (i) cattle, (ii) small ruminants. (iii) pigs, (iv) hens and rabbits, (v) horses, (vi) dogs and (vii) cats used as breeding, production or companion animals. The breeds presented are chosen for their importance in terms of numbers, economics or history.
The assessment, in English, will include three parts: (i) multiple-choice questions (MCQs), (ii) short-open questions (SOQs), and (iii) the production of a "breed record". The content of the course as well as the English language are both assessed.
