| Abstract | |
Veterinary Medicine acts directly on the animal health and also on human health through activities of sanitary inspection of food, epidemiological surveillance, health and environmental measures of guidance and education in public health concerns and zoonoses. Among various zoonoses some are more frequently observed in small properties of dairy farming, due to favorable environmental and handling conditions for agents etiological and vectors as well as limited access to information. The lack of knowledge about these diseases by the rural population, where technical information is more scarce or deficient, alert to the need for accessibility to this technical knowledge addressed in a diversified, respectful and effective way. This work has an objective aims to analyze the local reality of rural properties as well as the methods of health education (traditional and dialogical), as well as propose a new perspective in veterinary health education. Small farms were used in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The data were obtained by means of a questionnaire, observation, and practice of health education activities, in both methods of health education afore mentioned. Firstly, there was a great distance from the producers in relation to the veterinarian, relating the image of the professional to the inspection, resulting in low adherence. The questionnaire indicated a low production, technification and specialization profile, as little attention well as low rates of preventive measures against zoonotic diseases. Regarding educational activities, there was no adherence to traditional practices. In contrast, the dialogical activities were effective, with great interest and participation of the producers involved. It is concluded that it is necessary to change health education practices in veterinary medicine, using the cultural diversity between the academic and rural ways as a resource to be explored and the valorization of both knowledge as a determining factor in the producer / veterinarian interaction.
