Course description
This is a foundation course in the BVSc training programme. It will provide students with the underpinning knowledge and understanding of the behaviour and husbandry of domestic and non-domestic animals commonly attended by veterinarians. The course also introduces students to key concepts in animal welfare, particularly as it relates to animal management. Students will gain the required skills to enable them to competently handle and restrain common domestic animal species. After completing this training students will have the essential knowledge, understanding and skills required for them to successfully complete their preclinical extramural studies placements.
