- implement laboratory and field techniques in the different phases of production processes and in the quality control of the various animal productions.
To ensure that graduates of the LM-86 class are able to work professionally on all aspects of the zootechnical and agro-industrial system, the internship activity is quantified in 8 credits divided over the two years of the course. In the first half of each year, TIROCINIO activities are carried out at partner companies operating in the zootechnical and agro-livestock sector, as well as in companies that operate in the transformation and marketing of livestock production, as well as in bodies involved in sustainability certification. monitoring of the ecological footprint and public structures involved on the health front (for the management of health surveillance strategies with particular regard to diffusive and zoonotic diseases).

Teaching methods
The practical internship, both internal and external to the University structure, includes the figure of a company TUTOR. The company TUTOR can be a Teacher, in the case of an internal internship, or a professional. The professional can assume the function of TUTOR provided that he performs a managerial function within the venue in which the Internship is carried out. The Tutor is entrusted with the task of verifying that the objectives established in the training project (drawn up at the beginning of the training course) are carried out with competence and professionalism. At the end of the training period at the facility, the tutor will make a summary assessment of the activities performed by the trainee. It will be the responsibility of the academic tutor (teacher of the course) to formulate the final judgment of the activity carried out at the facility; in the case of an internship carried out at an external structure, the final judgment will be formulated based on the evaluation expressed by the company tutor.
The attribution of the CFU relative to the Internship will be carried out at the end of each period provided that the judgment expressed by the academic tutor is positive.
The Internship, due to the COVID-19 emergency and in strict dependence on the future epidemiological trend, can be attended online (remotely on Teams platform), through the use by the student of material entered by the course teachers on the Elly portal. Polythematic case reports will be created which can also be developed in groups. Focus Groups will then be planned on a weekly basis to discuss the proposed topics that will be critically analyzed together with the tutor teacher. Webinars will then be identified focused on topics consistent with the objectives of the study course and which will be highly recommended to the student. At the end of the internship, the student must prepare a short report (max 2 pages) on the activity carried out, which must be sent to the academic tutor in pdf format for his approval. At the end of the internship period, during which the student will take care to note the days and hours of use of the proposed material, the attendance form must also be filled in to be presented to the Student Secretariat to acquire the CFUs.
