This course will enable veterinarians to describe the pathophysiology of the major infectious, nutritional, and toxic diseases of swine, as well as describe analogous diseases in other species. The diseases to be discussed are selected based on their importance to the swine industry, as perceived by the course instructor.
At the end of this module, practitioners should be able to describe:
- pathogenesis
- clinical signs
- treatment
- prevention of toxic/exotic diseases of swine.
Noncredit courses do not produce academic credit nor appear on a Colorado State University academic transcript.
