The topic is structured with theoric classes, practices in slaugherthouses, seminars and tutorials.
- Expositive Theoric classes:20h. This 20 h will be given with the help of multimedia projector. Several images and video clips, schemes, summarys and graphics will be displayed.
- Interactive Practical classes in bovine slaughterhouse in reduced groups per professor. Likewise some little aspects will be carried out in the laboratory with a total of 16-18 h (C1). Depending in each practice the students in an individual way or in subgroups will carry out several practical aspects related to slaughterhouse inspection as well as sampling and analysis, i.e. limphonodes incission, surface and channels sampling...Conditioned the number and specific type of practices in slaughterhouse by the rules of that establishment derived from the situation generated by the Pandemic.
