Relatório de estágio curricular obrigatório: área de controle de qualidade em frigorífico de perus

Abstract

This mandatory curricular internship report in Veterinary Medicine aimed to describe the activities carried out in the Quality Control sector of a turkey slaughterhouse, totaling 420 hours, under the supervision of Veterinarian Ana Paula J. Klainpaul and academic guidance of Professor Dr. Cátia Chilanti Pinheiro Barata. In addition to describing the activities performed during the internship, the study included a literature review on animal welfare in turkey slaughterhouses. During the internship period, it was possible to follow the routines of quality analysts, on-site controllers, and the AWO (Animal Welfare Officer), allowing a greater understanding of self-control programs, monitoring procedures, and practices related to quality assurance and humane slaughter. The practical experience provided significant professional and academic growth, enabling the application of theoretical knowledge acquired throughout undergraduate studies, as well as the development of technical and critical skills essential for the performance of veterinarians in the poultry industry.
