Background:
The Center for Studies in Clinical Practice and Surgery
of Large Animals (NECCIGA) was created on March
17, 2014 to meet the demands of the UFLA course in
veterinary medicine, the residency program of the
Large Animals Hospital (HGA) and the society of
Lavras and surrounding region. NECCIGA develops
activities in training/qualification, technical assistance
and research. The center’s practical activities are
mainly developed at HGA/UFLA and rural properties
in the region through extension and research
projects. Because it is an area of ​expertise restricted
to veterinarians, NECCIGA only accepts professional
veterinarians or students of veterinary medicine as
members; nevertheless, it develops activities and
events with professionals and students from the most
diverse areas of knowledge. An important part of the
technical training of NECCIGA members is carried
out in the Experiential Activity Program at HGA.
Therefore, we encourage undergraduates who wish to
participate in the center to enroll in those activities.
Likewise, we invite farmers interested in participating
in our extension and technical assistance activities to
contact us at the HGA phone number (35) 3829-3167
or by e-mail address necciga@dmv.ufla.br.
Overall Objectives:
To promote practical and theoretical activities, develop
research projects, and support teaching and extension
in the area of physiology. To participate in campaigns
and other activities to meet the demands of the
community in the health area and extend knowledge
on physiology to students who are not interested in
topics related to human physiology.
Areas of Expertise:
1. Medical-veterinary technical assistance: Medicalveterinary
technical assistance to rural properties
through extension projects.
2. Clinical Practice and Surgery of Large Animals:
Development and dissemination of technical-scientific
knowledge in clinical practice and surgery of large
animals.
3. Animal Health: Action to promote animal health
geared towards to ruminants and equines.
