Abstract

This report describes the Supervised Curricular Internship in Veterinary Medicine (ECSMV), conducted from April 7 to July 12, 2014, totaling 520 hours, in the area of Selection and Reproduction in Beef Cattle, in farms located in the western border region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The internship was supervised by veterinarian Luiz Rafael Zacarro Lagreca from the Brazilian Association of Hereford and Braford (ABHB) and guided by Prof. Dr. Fábio Gallas Leivas. Activities included andrological examinations, pregnancy diagnosis, early weaning management, exhibition entry evaluations, and selection of Hereford and Braford animals, particularly through the PampaPlus® genetic improvement program. The experience contributed significantly to the author’s technical and practical training, reinforcing theoretical knowledge and enabling the application of genetic and reproductive technologies.
