“…The GIF showed that understanding the implications of the position of the foal in relation to the pelvis was vital. The results of the present study were consistent with earlier reports that suggested that increased use of computer‐aided tools was well received by students, associated with improved learning, and conveyed improved understanding of spatial relation between the calf and pelvis 4…”

“…Historically, the teaching of veterinary obstetrics has been limited to descriptions of birth and dystocia through the use of photographs, text and two‐dimensional graphical representations 4 5. Clinical skills models are also utilised in obstetrics teaching, and hands‐on practical experiences in a clinical setting can sometimes be provided to supplement learning.…”

“…A new tool was developed by Scherzer et al that employed three‐dimensional (3D) models and animation to improve obstetric teaching. This method enabled demonstration of the process of dystocia in bovine cases 4. This tool had not been previously used to demonstrate cases of dystocia in horses.…”

BackgroundMany challenges are encountered in both teaching and learning veterinary obstetrics. This may be due to outdated teaching materials, as the main model of content transmission remains centred around text and images.MethodsVisualisation methods such as three-dimensional (3D) and Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) tools were applied in an attempt to improve obstetrics education outcomes in the third-year class. Traditional teaching methods were utilised in the fourth-year and fifth-year students.ResultsThese supplementary tools significantly increased the third-year students’ final examination results compared with the results of fourth-year and fifth-year students (P<0.05). These examinations were designed to evaluate comprehension of the subject matter. Self-assessment questionnaire results further indicated that 3D animation and GIF promoted learning efficiency.ConclusionIncorporation of 3D animation learning tools into the veterinary curriculum is predicted to better prepare students for the management of obstetrical cases after graduation.

“…When technical guidelines were well understood and applied to the property, these could result not only in higher production (23) but in improved animal welfare (34) . The process of learning about new technologies (35) , besides the understanding of productivity and extension services (36) contribute to the management and development of more productive systems. Policies for the development of human capital (37) were important actions for economic and social development and consequently production (38) .…”

Spatial Distribution of Productive, Environmental, and Socioeconomic Factors to Discriminate Dairy Cattle Production in the South of Brazil

The South region of Brazil differs from the others due to its high milk production rates. Production heterogeneity, climate and soil diversity, and environmental and socioeconomic circumstances contribute to differentiate political-administrative regions. In this study, we aimed to spatialize the production, environmental, and socioeconomic factors that best discriminate bovine milk production in the states of the South of Brazil. Multivariate analyses were performed to discriminate both the studied variables and the mesoregion and cities of these states. The Western Catarinense and Northwestern Rio-grandense mesoregions showed the highest production indices, but they were discriminated at a low level (35.76 %). The formation of clusters showed that Casca, Marau, and Santo Cristo from the Northwestern Rio-grandense and Concordia, Coronel Freitas, Palmitos, and São Lourenço do Oeste from the Western Catarinense mesoregion had higher production indices. The municipal clusters were discriminated at a high level by production (98.24%) and by environmental and socioeconomic (72.75%) factors. Production variables were the most important for local clusters discrimination. The specificities and peculiarities to each region were evidenced through the heterogeneity of production and environmental and socioeconomic factors. Therefore, it is necessary to design and implement specific technological innovations to each region to maximize productive efficiency and minimize adverse environmental effects in dairy herds.

“…More recently, the University of Georgia developed a software program called ''The Glass Horse''. 7 This software allows virtual visualizing the equine digestive tract in a three-dimensional, interactive manner. This software has been positively received by students and has facilitated learning of a complicated gastrointestinal organ system, and although it is limited by single species and organ system, it is a step in the right direction.…”

Introduction: Anatomy is considered a cornerstone in human and veterinary medical education, as this basic science discipline provides a vital foundation on which to build the knowledge of the clinical practice of medicine. Objective: The aims of this study were: 1) to collect information on first year veterinary student preference, and use of supportive educational tools, and 2) to assess long-term knowledge retention in senior veterinary students who successfully completed the bovine anatomy course. Method: A survey was administered to first-year veterinary students in order to identify their learning tools of choice, and a diagnostic examination was designed to reflect highly relevant basic anatomy knowledge was administered to senior veterinary students. Results: Besides the regular cadaver-dissection laboratories, textbooks were the tool used most frequently by first-year students to learn bovine anatomy. Computer technology was used by only 12.2% of the students. When evaluating knowledge retention of bovine anatomy by fourth year (senior) students, only 33.2% of the questions were answered correctly in the fourth year examination. Conclusions: These results were interpreted as a low long-term retention of knowledge in Chilean veterinary medical students.
