- Know the major production systems, their ec onomic value, integration trends in agricultural systems and the environmental, land-bound systems where they are produced as well as the essential elements of the farm as a production unit
-To compare the elements of the production cycles (reproduction, rearing and fattening) more common economic impact of animal feed as well as the additional care that should provide each of them, according to the physiological and environmental needs.
-To identify the accommod ations and facilities in accordance with requirements of the previous phases, taking into account the current legislation, and meet the equipment more frequently.
- To know the income, characteristics and classification of major livestock products, especially food, and to identify variation factors affecting production and quality of products of animal origin.

PRACTICE
The laborat ory practice will be given according to the species discussed in the theoretical and consist of:

- Projection of films suitable for various productions
- Exercises applied to production traits related to spe cies addressed, particularly related to farm management.
This curricular unit will use teaching/learning divers e methodologies, preferably centered on the student (active learning), and that meet the guiding principles of the Bologna Declaration. In this model it is expected that the student develops the different specific skills defined for this curricular unit, and also get a set of generic skills (ability to function efficiently in working groups, ability to adapt to new methodologies and technologies for a responsible and autonomous, etc.). In this perspective, the methods and criteria for evaluation focus not only on acquiring the knowledge associated with each area of knowledge, but also include generic competences however gained. Continuous assessment provides for two tests, and the final classification obtained through the weighted av erage of the ratings of these assessment tools, according to the formula following: Final note = 0.5 × (classification of the 1st test) + 0.5 × (classification of 2nd test).
