The subject "Diseases of pigs II" is thematically devoted to the teaching of infectious and parasitic diseases, special surgery and orthopedics of pigs. In both parts of the subject, 100% participation in practical exercises is required as a condition for graduation. In case of absence, a replacement is required, the form, place and time of which will be determined by the relevant teacher conducting the teaching on the given day. It is also recommended to attend lectures that include the most up-to-date information from the given fields of study. An important condition for passing the course is the development of a protocol - a medical record from the examination of patients present at the clinic.

After completing the subject, the student acquires theoretical knowledge, practical habits and the basics of manual skills. In this way, the student will be provided with the prerequisites for his successful application in commercial practice or in the field of experimental research with an emphasis on:

- clinical skills in diagnosis, therapy and prevention of diseases,

- consulting activity

- theoretical knowledge about anesthesia, sedation and immobilization of pigs and free-living pigs, about surgical procedures, about methods of using special diagnostic and therapeutic devices in the diagnosis and surgical therapy of diseases in pigs,

- manual dexterity in the handling of diagnostic devices and in the surgical treatment of diseases in all categories of pigs.

The content, focus and goal of the study subject "Diseases of pigs II. it is both theoretical and practical teaching to acquire knowledge, practical habits and skills in the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of organ, metabolic and production diseases of pigs. This subject also educates students in the use of special diagnostic methods and surgical therapeutic procedures for organ diseases of piglets, gilts, sows and boars in breeding and experimental conditions.

The order of lectures and exercises, as well as the content, may change according to the clinical material, patients and occurrence of diseases in the pig clinic. Due to the infectious situation associated with African swine fever, the exercises are only carried out in the pig clinic. Disposable protective clothing and washable rubber shoes are required.
