Completion of the full professional teaching program and 100% participation in practical exercises, seminars, colloquiums, handover of patients and mandatory practice

The graduate will be an expert in a) prevention, diagnosis and treatment of selected internal diseases of horses or diseases of internal organs of horses; b) diagnosis and treatment of the most frequent diseases and traumas of horses treatable by surgical methods; c) prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of the most frequent disorders, diseases and injuries of the support and movement apparatus of horses; d) prevention, diagnosis and treatment of organic and functional disorders of the reproductive organs of mares and stallions.

After mastering the technique, methods used in internal diseases of horses and after mastering practical exercises, lectures, credit, the student will be able to ensure the risks of internal diseases of horses, blood vessels for long-term fluid therapy, take samples, interpret laboratory results, treat pharmaceuticals, manage emergency conditions, syndrome systemic inflammatory reaction, overheating, shock; manage diseases of the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, skin, liver, vascular system and blood, immune and endocrine system, musculoskeletal muscles, nervous system, eye diseases, respiratory system, urinary system, foals, disturbed internal environment, manage intoxication, affect pain, euthanasia , recommend managing the patient's hospitalization, including further nutrition, care; manage recovery. He will provide educated consultations to the breeder when establishing breeding, increasing the economy of breeding, on reducing the risks of internal diseases of horses; will provide knowledgeable consultations to staff and breeders on recognizing the symptoms of internal diseases of horses, caring for a sick horse and a horse in recovery. Students will be able to diagnose and treat frequent surgical diseases of horses and practically practice basic surgical procedures, such as castration, the need for teeth. In the field of orthopedics, the graduate of the subject will master the diagnostic approach to patients with lameness, if the basic intervention on the hoof, will master the basic imaging technique of X-ray and USG in the examination of the musculoskeletal system of horses. After mastering the techniques and procedures used in the examination and therapy of horses and after mastering practical exercises, lectures, credits, the student will be able to diagnose and treat diseases of the ovaries, diseases of the tubular apparatus reproductive organs of mares, lactation disorders, diseases of the postpartum period; will be competent to manage assistance during regular foal birth and to manage complicated foal birth, analyze the risks of pregnancy with a disturbed course, analyze the risks of infertility of mares, perform fertility analysis in horse breeding, organize the transfer of early embryos; will be able to organize admission and artificial insemination in breeding, diagnose and treat diseases of the reproductive system of stallions, analyze the risks of infertility of stallions, perform reproductive surgery of mares and stallions; will provide educated consultations to the breeder when establishing breeding, increasing breeding economy, improving reproductive performance, reducing risks in horse reproduction; will provide knowledgeable consultations to staff and breeders on detection of estrus, care of a pregnant mare, signs of impending birth, assistance during childbirth, care of mother and foal, and recognition of diseases of the reproductive system.
