Husdjursgenetik - hälsa, beteende och välfärd

Kursen avser att ge fördjupade kunskaper i sjukdomsgenetik och beteendeegenskapers genetik hos djur och förståelse för avelsarbetets konsekvenser för djurens hälsa och beteende, så att studenten kan arbeta för bättre djurvälfärd och hållbarhet.

Betygskriterier

Grade criteria and types of examination for the learning objectives HV0167


• To receive grade 3 on the course, the student shall reach at least grade 3 on all learning objectives in all three parts.
• To receive grade 4 on the course, the student shall (in addition to the requirements for grade 3) reach at least grade 4 on the 2nd part and at least two of the learning objectives on the 1st part and at least three of the learning objectives on the 3rd part or reach at least grade 4 on all learning objectives on the 1st part and at least four of the learning objectives on the 3rd part.
• To receive grade 5 on the course, the student shall (in addition to the requirements for grade 3) reach grade 5 on at least two of the learning objectives in the 1st part and at least three of the learning objectives of the 3rd part, and grade 4 on the remaining parts.

1. Plan research project

Learning objective: Integrate knowledge of genetics, health, behaviour and animal welfare to solve complex problems within animal husbandry.

Grade 3: The student integrates knowledge in genetics and ethology or disease genetics for problem solving and for creating an outline of a genetic experiment including a behavioural or disease trait.

Grade 4: The student describes possible implementations of the results of genetic experiments.

Grade 5: The student plays an active role in discussions during project presentations.

Type of exam: Written project report (application), presentation and discussion.

Learning objective: Independently search, summarise, interpret and critically review scientific articles about the genetics of behaviour and health traits.

Grade 3:The student independently searches, summarizes, interprets and critically assesses some scientific articles and makes use of these articles to write an "application" for a scientific study in behavioural genetics.

Grade 4: The student makes use of several scientific articles to write an "application".

Grade 5: The student writes and presents an "application" which is in good accordance with given instructions. The student critically evaluates other students' applications.

Type of exam: Written project report (application), presentation and discussion.

Learning objective: Discuss ethical issues linked to genetics of behaviour and health traits and formulate a position on such issues.

Grade 3: The student describes ethical issues related to the planned study.

Grade 4: The student discusses ethical issues related to the other students' planned studies.

Type of exam: Written project report (application), presentation and discussion.

2. Genetic analyses

Learning objective: Analyse behaviour and health traits and discuss advantages and disadvantages with different methods and models.

Grade 3: The student describes the analyse of a given trait and discuss advantages and disadvantages with given methods and models.

Grade 4: The student describes data material, methods, models and results in a scientific way.

Grade 5: The student critically evaluates the performed analyses and suggests improvements.

Type of exam: Written computer exercise report.

3. Breeding work

Learning objective: In detail describe the genetic control of different behaviour and health traits, how these traits have been changed during domestication and how they can be changed through breeding.

Grade 3: The student describes the genetic control of given traits, how these traits have been changed during domestication and how they can be changed through breeding.

Grade 4: The student reviews the given literature critically (enough data, relevant methods, conclusions based on results), and makes use of the literature in case work.

Grade 5: The student compares the genetic control of different behaviour and health traits across species and how they can be changed through breeding.

Type of exam: Written case reports, oral presentations and oral discussion of the cases, especially the 1st and 3rd part.

Learning objectives: Describe how molecular genetic methods are used to identify genes associated with disease and behavioural disorders.

Grade 3: The student describes how molecular genetic methods are used to identify genes associated with disease and behavioural disorders.

Grade 4: The student reviews given literature critically (enough data, relevant methods, conclusions based on results), and makes use of the literature in case work.

Grade 5: The student compares and critically evaluates different genetic methods (molecular and quantitative) for a given trait.

Type of exam: Written case reports, oral presentations and oral discussion of the cases, especially the 2nd part.

Learning objective: Communicate and collaborate with people who have different areas of expertise.

Grade 3: The student communicate and collaborate with people who have different areas of expertise within the case group.

Grade 4: The student critically evaluates strengths and weaknesses of other students' case work and plays an active role in the discussion of all cases.

Type of exam: Written case reports and oral presentations.

Learning objective: Predict the consequences of breeding for the animals' welfare.

Grade 3: The student predicts the consequences of breeding for animals' welfare in relation to the case that he/she has been working with.

Grade 4: The student discusses animal welfare consequences of selection (or no selection) in relation to all cases.

Grade 5: The student suggests how goal conflicts between high welfare and other goals can be handled.

Type of exam: Written case reports, oral presentations and oral discussion of the cases, especially the 3rd part.

Learning objective: Discuss ethical issues linked to genetics of behaviour and health traits and formulate a position on such issues.

Grade 3: The student discusses ethical issues in relation to the own case and shows the ability to formulate a point of view on ethical issues.

Grade 4: The student discusses ethical issues related to all cases.

Type of exam: Written case reports, oral presentations and oral discussion of the cases, especially the 1st part.
