The purpose of this work is to describe the activities carried out during the mandatory supervised internship (ESO), a required course for the completion of the Veterinary Medicine degree at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco. The internship was conducted in the sectors of Mauricéa Alimentos LTDA, Estrada de Limeira Grande, S/N – km 02 Rural Zone, Carpina-PE, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Érika Fernanda Torres Samico Fernandes Cavalcanti, from April 3, 2024, to July 14, 2024. During the internship, it was possible to participate in the routine of 5 different sectors of the company: the Feed Factory, the Breeding Unit, the Hatchery, the Integrated Farms, and the Slaughterhouse. This allowed for a comprehensive view of broiler chicken production, from feed to slaughter, observing all stages and the veterinarian's role in each. In all sectors, the necessity and effectiveness of biosecurity measures promoted by the company's employees were notable, demonstrating how crucial this factor is for poultry farming, animal production, and biosecurity. This makes it an extremely relevant topic to be addressed in chapter 2.
