Relatório de estágio curricular obrigatório: área de controle de qualidade no abate de aves

Abstract

This mandatory curricular internship report in Veterinary Medicine aims to describe the activities carried out in the area of quality control, conducted in the municipality of Farroupilha, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, at a poultry slaughterhouse. The internship totaled 451 hours and was carried out from March 3 to May 20, 2025, under the supervision of Veterinarian Joana Chesini and academic guidance of Professor Dr. Cátia Chilanti Pinheiro Barata. The internship was conducted in the quality control sector. During the internship period, the activities were divided between the morning slaughter release, afternoon slaughter release, and on-site verification of SSOPs, SOPs, HACCP plans, animal welfare assessments, and good manufacturing practices (GMP). This report presents the location of the internship, the company's infrastructure, the daily routine of the activities performed, and a study on economic losses resulting from carcass condemnations deemed unfit for human consumption. The internship period played a fundamental role in my personal and professional development, allowing the practical application of reasoning and the deepening of theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the undergraduate program.
