Abstract

The building of diagnosis on Veterinary Medicine is constituted by the rational assessment of the problems or facts, their causes and by the study the effectiveness of the decisions taken. Research on diagnosis in veterinary medicine is all the research that provides information to assist in the recognition of problems and events relating to animals, their health, reproductive efficiency, animal science and welfare and of the effectiveness of the decisions taken on the basis of the diagnosis. The FMVZ/USP favors actions that aims to modernize the laboratory infrastructure directed to these activities and that facilitate integration between researchers from different laboratories, promoting internal and external exchange of people and resources toward this research topic, encouraging and offering access to facilities and equipment. This is a network model where each laboratory works with its specialty and its professional and personal expertise. In Phase IX, attention will be given to improve and increase the structure of the emergency electrical grid systems that serve the laboratories of FMVZ Departments of the Capital Campus, by the acquisition and installation of diesel electric generators and improvement of the infrastructure of animal testing laboratories of the Department of Nutrition and Animal Production of FMVZ, located in the Administrative Campus of Pirassununga.
