- Animals Skeletons.
Pharmacology & Toxicology Lab
In this laboratory, the performance of experiments and practical exercises that show the extent of the influence of medicine and its dose on laboratory animals (rabbits, mice, --- etc) are done, as well as the teaching of students about drug formulation in its different forms , plus others. Furthermore, in this laboratory, experimentation and practical exercises are also conducted on practical chemistry of its different kinds; such as general chemistry, analytical and organic and biochemistry, due to readiness of this laboratory in tools and chemicals and extensions of water and gas --- etc.
Among the devices, available in this laboratory are the following:
- Electronic Balances
- PH Meters
- Magnati stirrer& Hotplates
- Memmert Shaking Water Bath,WB 14
- Distillator, Bibby, D4000, Distinction, water still.
Feed Analysis & Milk Hygiene Lab
Experiments & practical training for students are conducted in this laboratory on the methods used to estimate the proportion (%) of protein, fat , fiber and calories in samples of feed and food, and that is done by using devices with high-tech and sophisticated , as well as performing the experiments and the process that is used to estimate (test) the milk hygiene from the physical , chemical and microbiological aspects. In addition, it can be used for performing experiments and practical exercises concerning tests of soil and irrigation, due to the readiness of the laboratory of tools, equipment and materials.
Among the devices, available in this laboratory are the following:
- Flame Photometer 410,sherwood.
- Ankom 200 fiber analyser A200.
- Ankom Extractor, XT 10 I.
- Kjeldahl distillation & Digestion system.
- Calorimeter C 200.
- Conductivity Meter.
- Daisy II Incubator, Ankom technology.
- Lactometers & Hydrometers.
Parasitology Lab
Experimentation and practical training is done in this laboratory on finding out & examining the internal parasites (which parasitize within the body of the organism like worms in its different kinds.) and external parasites (which parasitize on the body of the organism from the outside, such as ticks, and fleas -etc.) , by optical microscopes through samples brought by students from the field for testing, then diagnosed for the disease and treatment. This laboratory can be used for experiments and practical training for other courses such as Animal Physiology and others.
Among the devices, available in this laboratory are the following:
- Light Microscopes.
- Sieves.
- Liquid Nitrogen Container.
- Hemocytometer.
Microbiology Lab
In this lab; different experiments and practical training are conducted to teach students how to prepare the medias which are used for the growth of microorganisms , as well as how to perform staining for microorganisms , then the use of optical microscopes for diagnoses then treatment. Students are also trained on how to conduct sensitivity tests for the bacteria that was detected from the samples which have been received from the internal field (the farm) as well as from samples of the external field (abroad).
Among the devices, available in this laboratory are the following:
- Incubator.
- Autoclave.
- Light Microscopes.
- Laminar Flow.
- Stomacher.
Veterinary Clinic
to train students for examining and diagnosis.
Farm
to train students on different surgeries.
Industry
Veterinary medicine program is directly connected with the local society through veterinary clinic for treatment and consulting, also, through the training program where students do the training in different places such as Veterinary Medicine Department in Ministry of Agriculture, public and private institutions, in addition to examining all samples that farmers send to the veterinary medicine department in special veterinary labs, the results of examining these samples help to provide accurate diagnosis and provide the appropriate treatment. Farmers are also provided with practical means to protect their animals and farms from many diseases. The department provide guidance for farmers who want to make their startup projects by providing them with ways to building their farms in a perfect manner and raising their animals in the best way. The department makes full cooperation with municipalities, Humane Societies, the Center for the Study of migratory birds, the Equestrian clubs by providing medical consultation and medical Seminars.
Teaching and Learning
As a result of the Advanced Technology evolve in all aspects, education methods has evolved as well, it's no longer depending on prompting, on the contrary, different means of modern technology has been used in education, using LCD is an example of this; it is used in all veterinary medicine lectures. e-learning system is used in most of courses as well. Students are asked to prepare lectures and Seminars which encourage them to do research over the internet. Many modern devices are used in animal checkup for Diagnosis purposes, such as: speculum, X-Ray imaging, O.P room, endoscopic examination, inhalation anesthetic machine, All tools of orthopedic surgery and more.
Coursework and Assessment
Evaluation process is executed in different means in a way that fits education process evolving, Students perform first, second and final written exams in additional to practical exams, practical exams consist of two aspects:
Practical field part, in which students learn how to handle different cases in terms of making diagnosis, applying treatments, taking samples and test them in the lap.
Due to the importance of the Clinic evaluation process, all teaching staff participate in it. this process prepares the students to the field work after graduation.
Clinic evaluation process consists of two aspects:
- Written exams.
- Oral exams.
