Section 2: Module Synopsis This unit is intended to provide students with an understanding of rehabilitation techniques currently in use on a range of different animals on a mental and physical level. It will emphasise the differences between the rehabilitation of different animals, from wildlife to performance animals. It will examine the physical processes of healing and assess the therapies available to maximise an animal’s potential. The unit will emphasis to the student the limitations and constraints which apply to a lay person with respect to certain areas covered by the unit. Section 3: Outline Syllabus Physical rehabilitation following injury The healing process, bone injury and repair, ligament injury and repair, tendon injury and repair, how injuries occur and how they might be prevented. Range of rehabilitation techniques and the legislation surrounding them Massage, acupressure, acupuncture, hot and cold treatments, physiotherapy, chiropractic osteopathy, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, McTimoney animal manipulation, T-Touch, shiatsu and any other relevant therapies. Stretches, soft tissue manipulation, muscle development, rebalance, re-introduction of work (performance animals). Comparison of physical rehabilitation and techniques available with domestic and performance animals. Legislation and limitations on animal therapists, the role of professional and consultative bodies. Behaviour modification techniques and strategies The development of behaviour problems in a range of animals, from domestic animals to wild animals in captivity. Treatment techniques and strategies available (link to Behaviour module). Environmental enrichment Principles and practice in environmental enrichment, identification and satisfaction of behavioural needs, treatment of behavioural problems, the significance of enrichment techniques during rehabilitation (physical and mental) of both wild and domestic animals. Section 4: Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to assess rehabilitation techniques and compare the differences between physical and mental rehabilitation in a range of animals. They will gain a thorough understanding of the alternative therapies available and will be able to fully assess situations necessitating their use. Students will have a comprehensive knowledge of how injuries occur in different tissue types, how the body’s natural healing process works and how we can work to minimise or prevent injury. They should feel confident in assessing all rehabilitation situations and implementing a treatment plan, whilst taking in to consideration all moral and ethical dilemmas. . Section 5: Learning and Teaching Strategy/Methods Students will achieve their learning outcomes through lectures, seminars and practical delivery. Students will be encouraged to carry out independent research and develop their research skills learnt at level 1. Visits to veterinary practices, zoos, re-homing centres, rehabilitation centres, animal hospitals and specialist centres will be used where possible. Guest speakers and demonstrations will be used where appropriate to ensure that content is current and accurate. Section 6: Assessment The assessment profile will have two components 50% coursework consisting of 1 written assessment. 50% examination – one two hour examination at the end of the module.

Section 2: Module Synopsis This unit concentrates on the function, digestion and utilisation of nutrients, as well as factors which influence food intake. Methods of evaluating diets and feedstuffs will also be recognised and the impact this has on a range of animals in a variety of circumstances. Section 3: Outline Syllabus Basic constituents of a feed - water, carbohydrates, lipids, nitrogenous compounds – and an introduction to proximate analysis. Vitamins and minerals – requirements, functions, signs of deficiency. Digestive systems – principles of digestion, simple stomached digestive system, ruminant digestive system, hindgut fermentation, birds. Factors affecting appetite and voluntary food intake – CNS regulation, long term and short term control, palatability, sensory influences, disease. Ration formulation and life stage diets pregnancy, lactation, stress, adolescent, geriatric and adult Section 4: Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this unit, the student will be able to: Analyse the nature and function of the basic constituents of a feed Examine the structure and physiology of digestive systems Analyse factors affecting the long and short term control of voluntary food intake Examine the nature and function of vitamins and minerals Section 5: Learning and Teaching Strategy/Methods Students will achieve their learning outcomes through participation in lectures, laboratory sessions, practical sessions, tutorials and unit specific study. Students will be encouraged to carry out their own research and develop their research skills learnt at level 1. Section 6: Assessment Assessment will be based on a report (50%) and an in-class phase test (50%).
