Grading scale
The requirements for attaining different grades are described in the course assessment criteria which are contained in a supplement to the course syllabus. Current information on assessment criteria shall be made available at the start of the course.
Prior knowledge
Knowledge equivalent to 60 credits in Biology/Animal science at AB-level including biochemistry, cell biology and microbiology.Objectives
The course will give an understanding of the significance of hygienic quality in feed raw material and mixture of feed
After completing the course the student should be able to:
describe the chemical and physical properties of the feed raw materials important for microbial growth and activity
discuss the influence of microorganisms in the feed production regarding occurrence of toxins, harvest and process technique as well as storage methods
describe the principle for feed conservation and spoilage capacity of microorganisms
evaluate the significance of hygienic quality of feed raw material as well as mixture of feed from the production and handling perspective
independently evaluate microbiological analytical methodology and interpret the results
Content
The main part of the course deals with microbiology, focusing on feed safety. Laboratory practices constitute an important part of the course.
Lectures and laboratory practical will consider detection and identification of microorganisms, factors affecting growth and survival of microorganisms, conservation of feed, mould and yeast, pathogenic bacteria, Lactic acid bacteria and feed toxicology. A project work in groups will consider risk assessment and quality management systems.
Grading form
The requirements for attaining different grades are described in the course assessment criteria which are contained in a supplement to the course syllabus. Current information on assessment criteria shall be made available at the start of the course.Formats and requirements for examination
Approved oral and/or written examinations, approved project work and approved participation in compulsory parts of the course.
If the student fails a test, the examiner may give the student a supplementary assignment, provided this is possible and there is reason to do so.
If the student has been granted special educational support because of a disability, the examiner has the right to offer the student an adapted test, or provide an alternative assessment.
If changes are made to this course syllabus, or if the course is closed, SLU shall decide on transitional rules for examination of students admitted under this syllabus but who have not yet passed the course.
For the examination of a degree project (independent project), the examiner may also allow the student to add supplemental information after the deadline. For more information on this, please refer to the regulations for education at Bachelor's and Master's level.
Other information
The right to take part in teaching and/or supervision only applies to the course date to which the student has been admitted and registered on.
If there are special reasons, the student may take part in course components that require compulsory attendance at a later date. For more information on this, please refer to the regulations for education at Bachelor's and Master's level.
Additional information
The two courses Feed Safety and Microbiology 5 credits, and Food Microbiology 15 credits overlap and cannot both be included in the final degree.Responsible department
