Abstract

This report describes the activities developed during the Mandatory Supervised Curricular Internship held from 14/09 to 17/11/2021, at the Center for Studies, Research and Extension in Genetics and Animal Breeding (NAPGEM) of the Federal University of Tocantins, under supervision of the MV. Rodolfo Olinto R.G. de Oliveira, totaling 345 hours. The activities carried out concerned the development and improvement of studies at NAPGEM and field practices, in the areas of animal breeding and improvement, on farms and partner companies of the nucleus. Among these, we can highlight: implementation of fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) programs, induction of puberty in heifers, pregnancy diagnosis by ultrasound or rectal palpation, measurement and analysis of data obtained during FTAI and some emergency surgeries. To improve knowledge, a study was carried out to analyze the reproductive performance of three herds located in the northern region of Tocantins, under consultancy by the company Monta Reproduction Animal. The results showed a difference between the conception rate of the farms, as well as the effect of body condition score (BSE) of the cow and animal category. The mandatory supervised internship is an extremely important activity for the development of skills, competences and ethical and professional responsibility of the veterinary medical professional.
