The minerals industry in the field of Underground Mine Design is presently faced with the problem of meeting a rapidly increasing domestic and foreign demand for its mineral resources. This increased demand has added to the problems already plaguing the industry increased land, labor, and material costs; increased foreign competition; more rigid Federal and State mining laws pertaining to health and safety; increased public awareness of air, stream, and land pollution; and increased public concern of mining practices and conditions within the mines.  

This module focuses on identifying, diagnosing, and managing animal parasites to promote animal health and productivity. It covers the major groups of parasites—helminths, arthropods, and protozoa—and their associated diseases.

1. Identification of Animal Parasites

Learners study the main classes of parasites:

• Helminths – including nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes, described by their structure, lifecycle, and mode of infection.

• Arthropods – such as insects, mites, and ticks, described by their morphology, development, and role as vectors.

• Protozoa – single-celled parasites classified based on movement (flagella, cilia, pseudopodia) and mode of reproduction.

2. Description of Common Parasitic Diseases

Students learn about major parasitic diseases:

• Helminthiasis – caused by parasitic worms like roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes.

• Arthropod-borne diseases – caused or transmitted by ticks, flies, lice, and mites (e.g., anaplasmosis, babesiosis).

• Protozoosis – caused by protozoan parasites such as Trypanosoma, Eimeria, and Babesia.

3. Diagnosis of Common Parasitic Diseases

The module trains students to:

• Conduct clinical examinations following proper procedures.

• Collect and handle samples (blood, feces, skin scrapings, etc.) according to protocols.

• Examine samples using laboratory techniques (microscopy, flotation, staining).

• Interpret results accurately based on clinical signs and lab findings.

4. Treatment and Control of Parasitic Diseases

Learners gain practical skills in:

• Applying effective treatments specific to helminths, arthropods, and protozoa.

• Monitoring animal health during and after treatment.

• Implementing biosecurity and preventive measures such as sanitation, vector control, vaccination, and isolation to reduce disease spread.

This course introduces learners to the principles and practices of producing mechanical parts using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. It covers the fundamentals of CNC machining, including the structure and functions of CNC machines, interpretation of engineering drawings, selection of tools and cutting parameters, and the preparation of CNC programs (G-codes and M-codes). Learners will develop skills in setting up workpieces, executing CNC operations such as turning, milling, and drilling, and applying quality control measures to ensure accuracy and precision of produced parts. The course also emphasizes safety practices, process optimization, and troubleshooting in CNC machining to prepare students for real-world manufacturing environments.

Pig farming operations involve the breeding, rearing, and management of pigs for meat (pork) and other by-products. The operations typically include housing and pen construction, feeding and nutrition management, breeding practices, health care and disease control, waste management, and marketing of pigs or pork products. Efficient pig farming focuses on providing proper housing, balanced feeding (concentrates and forages), hygiene, and veterinary care to ensure fast growth, high reproduction rates, and profitability.
