Course unit content
The course is divided into two modules:
1. Biotechnology applied to improvement of domesti animals
2. Biotechnology and productive and reproductive performances in domestic animals
The course begins with fetal programming lessons in relation to the improvement of production performance in livestock species. The core of the course concerns the biotechnological techniques to positively modulate animal production and reproductive performances. Basic veterinary endocrinology concepts will be provided to ensure a correct understanding of the topics. The final lectures concern the rumen and the manipulation of the flora/fauna rumen.

Teaching methods
Ex cathedra lectures, seminars, practical activities with some time dedicated to deepening and discussion.
Computer slides, lab instruments, scientific papers that are provided to the students during the course.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform .
Slides of the lessons are given to the students at the end of the course.
Assessment methods and criteria
Final oral examination. Students should demonstrate to know all the items present in the program; in particular, students should show to be able to link the different arguments, to have a deep knowledge of the topics and to speech properly.
The exam will be considered as passed if the student demonstrates that has sufficient knowledge of the arguments that have been treated during the course.
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
Students with SLD / BSE must first contact the Welcome and inclusion Center (CAI): https://www.cai.unipr.it/en/
Other information
Nine examination sessions are scheduled throughout the academic year, as reported on ESSE3 platform website. A minimun of 14 days is required between two subsequent examination sessions. The examining board consists of at least two teachers
