Description:

This learning design is for the lectures about “Infectious diseases in mink” and “Multifactorial and metabolic diseases in mink” in the course Livestock Disease and Disease Prevention. It will give the students knowledge about common diseases in the mink production, both infectious and multifactorial diseases. It enables students to be able to summarise and explain aetiology, risk factors and pathophysiology of common mink diseases. The student will learn to work with tools for monitoring the risk of diseases, and tools for analysing possible causes and effects of diseases and disease complexes.

The activities, assessment tasks and overall design of the subject are based on principles of situated learning and constructive alignment

Intended Learning Outcomes:

Explain disease abundance in mink production including consequences for the mink, producers, consumers and society.
Summarise and explain the importance of critical periods in the lives of the mink and their adaptability to production conditions.
Summarise and explain aetiology, pathophysiology and analyse possible risk factors in important mink diseases related to the gastrointestinal system, metabolism and infections
Discuss and analyse interactions between physiological and immunological mechanisms of importance to disease risk in mink
Assess the possibilities of increasing disease resistance via genotype, nutrition, environment and management
