Course/Module description:
Poultry products are the major source of animal proteins for the human population in many countries around the world including Israel, and a main industry for Israel’s agriculture. Good understanding of the veterinary and veterinary related aspects of poultry species is important for all Israeli veterinarians and not only for veterinarians who wish to pursue a career in poultry medicine. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the important disease etiologies of poultry species and the prevention, diagnosis and control of poultry diseases. The course will provide a specific emphasis on the zoonotic and food safety aspects of poultry health and will address the emerging topic of animal welfare in poultry production.
