Abstract

The present mandatory curricular internship report in Veterinary Medicine aims to describe the activities carried out in the area of swine production and management, totaling 448 hours, under the supervision of Fernando Rodrigo Basso Lorenz and the academic guidance of Dr. Cátia Chilanti Pinheiro Barata. The objective during the internship was to acquire practical knowledge and deepen skills in reproductive management, animal health, and optimization of swine production, contributing to the development of professional competencies applicable to integrated pig farming systems. Throughout the internship period, activities related to genetic selection of breeding females, management of gilts in the pre-mating phase, health monitoring in piglet-producing, nursery, and finishing units, as well as analysis of productive performance and implementation of biosecurity protocols for disease prevention and farm clearance, were followed. The internship period was of great importance for professional growth, allowing the application of clinical reasoning and advanced techniques acquired during the undergraduate program.
