Learning objectives
For the INTERNSHIP scheduled for the first semester of the 2nd year of the course, the student has the right to choose between different production systems (milk, meat, eggs) and / or realities included in the supply chains (farms, slaughterhouses, processing industries, research institutes, AUSL, Certification Bodies). During this activity, the student must examine the main organizational and managerial health problems that the chosen supply chain system implements on a daily basis, acquiring: - business and industrial planning skills in the animal production sector; - management and management skills of livestock farms; - ability to provide technical assistance to livestock production; - ability to ascertain the quality of livestock production and related processed products; - ability to provide advice in the sectors of animal production, processing and marketing of products of animal origin; - ability to foresee interventions for the protection and conservation of the environment and biodiversity; - ability to operationally and effectively decline sustainability along the entire supply chain.
Prerequisites
Before undertaking the internship activities, the student must have successfully attended and taken the exam of the course on Safety in the workplace (in compliance with Legislative Decree 81/08 and the State Regions Agreement of 21/12 / 2011 and 07/25/2012).
Course unit content
The internship is an individual training activity, aimed at the acquisition of specific skills in the disciplines provided for in the declaration of the Class. For each activated internship (both external and internal to the University), a specific TRAINING INTERNSHIP project is drawn up and signed in accordance with the standard scheme approved by the Academic Bodies. Graduates in "Innovative and Sustainable Animal Production" will be able to: - carry out and manage consultancy and research activities, in order to promote and develop sustainable technological innovation of agro-zootechnical systems (in the fields of production, hygiene, transformation, qualitative enhancement, bio-conservation, biodiversity, economy and marketing of products of origin animal and animal performance);- to implement laboratory and field techniques in the different phases of the production processes and in the quality control of the supply chain of the various animal productions.
To ensure that graduates of the LM-86 class are able to work professionally on all aspects of the livestock and agro-industrial system, the internship is quantified in 8 credits spread over the two years of the course. The INTERNSHIP activity is carried out in the first half of each year at affiliated companies active in the zootechnical and agro-zootechnical sector, as well as at companies that operate in the transformation and marketing of animal production as well as in entities engaged in the certification of sustainability and ecological footprint monitoring and public structures involved in the health front (for the management of health surveillance strategies with particular regard to diffusive and zoonotic diseases).
During the internship experience, the student will have to fill in a diary form, on which he himself will take care to annotate the hours of activities carried out daily. The diary form must be countersigned by the company tutor to certify attendance and the activity carried out. At the end of the internship period at the facility, the company tutor will formulate a synthetic assessment of the activities carried out by the intern. It will be the academic tutor's responsibility 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 on the basis of the evaluation expressed by the referent himself. The attribution of credits related 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 diary form must be delivered to the Student Secretariat at the end of each Internship period.
Duration of the Internship: the 8 ECTS INTERNSHIP is a total of 200 hours, of which 4 in the first year and 4 in the second year.
The distribution of the TRAINING INTERNSHIP in the two years of the course aims to encourage the direct involvement of students in the livestock and supply chain realities that the world of work currently offers. This experience will put the student in a position to identify the work areas most suited to their aptitudes.

Teaching methods
The practical internship, both internal and external to the University structures, includes the figure of a company TUTOR. The company TUTOR is usually the Director of the Department, in the case of an internal internship, or a professional, in the case of an external internship. The professional can take on the role of TUTOR on condition that he performs a managerial function within the location where the Internship is carried out. The company 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 internship period at the facility, the company tutor will formulate a synthetic assessment of the activities carried out by the intern and the actual attendance. 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 on the basis of the evaluation expressed by the company tutor. The attribution of credits related to the Internship will be carried out at the end of each period provided that the opinion expressed by the academic tutor is positive.
