Learning outcomes | |
By completing the subject, the student will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of ecology and protection of environmental components, air, water and soil related to the hygiene conditions of animal husbandry. He will acquire knowledge in the field of environmental sanitation, disinfection, disinsection and deratization procedures in animal husbandry from the point of view of protecting the health of people and animals. Get to know procedures for protecting water resources from negative impacts from agricultural activity. As part of the hygienic analysis of the quality of drinking water, he knows the methodological procedures for the evaluation of individual indicators of the quality of drinking water. He will use his knowledge in solving the problem of processing and treatment of organic waste from animal production in connection with the subsequent use without negative impacts on the fertilization of pastures and soil within the framework of veterinary care for the environment and public health. |
