Abstract

The Mandatory Supervised Internship (MSI), the final course of the Veterinary Medicine undergraduate program at the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE), aims primarily to provide practical experience of the theoretical knowledge acquired. The MSI in question took place from October 2nd, 2023, to December 22nd, 2023, with a total workload of 420 hours at Guaraves Guarabira Aves Ltda., a company in the industrial poultry sector, with the purpose of experiencing the stages of this production chain, which included the management of heavy matrices, hatchery for one-day-old chick production, broiler farms from chick reception to pre-slaughter, slaughterhouse, and commercial laying hen farms.. The Brazilian poultry industry stands out for its dynamism and high technological level, and veterinarians play an important role in all segments of this production chain. The MSI was carried out at Guaraves Guarabira Aves Ltda. with the aim of experiencing the stages of this production chain. The vaccination of commercial poultry is essential for the prevention of various infectious diseases that can reduce the productivity rates of these animals, as well as monitoring the humoral response to these vaccines. One example would be Gumboro Disease, which causes severe economic losses in industrial poultry farming. Thus, the present study aims to describe the activities developed in the MSI and to compare the results of serological tests between two vaccines (M-1 and M-2) against Gumboro Disease. It was concluded that the M-2 vaccine showed higher titers, but both vaccines were effective in promoting antibodies against the disease.
