It mainly studies the biological characteristics, resistance, pathogenicity, testing methods, prevention and control measures, disinfection and sterilization technology, animal immunity basic technology, and microbial application technology of eight types of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, actinomycetes, mycoplasma, spirochetes, rickettsia, and chlamydia. The theoretical knowledge and skills learned are essential for students to learn professional courses such as poultry production, pig production, cattle and sheep production, poultry disease prevention and control, pig disease prevention and control, cattle and sheep disease prevention and control, animal epidemic prevention and quarantine technology, animal pharmacology, etc. It is also the foundation for students to continue learning in universities. The course content has the characteristics of operability, strong applicability, close connection with practical production, prominent knowledge and skill points, practicality, applicability, and adequacy. By learning the animal microbiological testing skills that students possess, such as plate agglutination test, avian influenza antibody monitoring, bacterial testing technology, virus cultivation, disinfection and sterilization technology, etc., a solid foundation will be laid for students to work in positions such as animal husbandry, feed production and processing, diagnosis and prevention of animal diseases, production of animal vaccines, and quarantine and inspection of animals and animal products. While learning professional skills, cultivate students' ability to apply technology, internalize proficient operations, apply and summarize technology, as well as the ability to access and process information. Improve students' professional literacy, focus on cultivating a spirit of dedication, teamwork, compliance with laws and regulations, cherishing life, loving labor, and advocating science.
