Abstract

The supervised curricular internship took place between August 14th and October 25th, 2023, totaling 390 hours, in the periodical inspection sector at the Agricultural Defense Agency of the State of Tocantins in Araguaína. It took place under the guidance of Veterinary Doctor Drª. Katyane de Sousa Almeida and supervision by the Veterinary Doctor, MSc Agricultural Defense Inspector, Hellen Núbia C. Maciel Miranda. During the internship, routine inspections of establishments included in the state inspection service were monitored, documented and on- site, in addition to registration of establishments and official collection of water and products. During the visits, it was verified whether the establishments had self-control programs correctly implemented, executed and monitored to guarantee product quality, where non-conformities were found at various control points and the necessary fiscal actions were taken. Therefore, inspections and audits by the inspection service are fundamental for the correct compliance of PACs by industries, guaranteeing a harmless product. The supervised curricular internship was fundamental for professional development, with the formation of a critical view of different realities monitored.
