The project is aimed at introducing the latest scientific knowledge into the content of teaching and practice of the subject Breeds and breeding of companion animals and increasing the level of theoretical and practical knowledge of students in the newly created veterinary nurse study program. Based on the published modern university textbook and e-Atlas of companion animals, students will be able to create a complete picture of the most commonly kept breeds of companion animals and current breeding trends in the given issue. By connecting scientific knowledge and theoretical teaching, students will gain not only a more comprehensive theoretical overview, but also more practical experience in the given issue. Students will also gain practical skills by teaching in the conditions of farms, breeding facilities, shelters, quarantine stations, as well as at exhibitions held under the auspices of the Slovak Association of Breeders and the Slovak Cynological Unity.
