Abstract

This report aims to describe the experiences and activities developed during the Mandatory Supervised Internship (ESO), carried out from November 1, 2024, to January 22, 2025, under the orientation of Prof. Dr. Elizabeth Sampaio de Medeiros and co-orientation of Prof. Dr. Maria Betânia de Queiroz Rolim. The internship was conducted at the Agência de Defesa e Fiscalização Agropecuária do Estado de Pernambuco (ADAGRO) and a Fish Processing Unit (FPU), both located in Recife-PE. At ADAGRO, under the supervision of veterinary Dr. Flávio de Oliveira Silva, activities included periodic visits, permanent inspections, preliminary assessments, and sample collection for laboratory analysis in various establishments across the Recife Metropolitan Region. At the FPU, under the supervision of veterinary specialist Ana Magna de Carvalho Almeida Lins, tasks involved reading and studying the Self-Control Programs (SCP), filling out technical spreadsheets, monitoring the processes of receiving and shipping products and evaluating raw materials. The internship reinforced the importance of veterinary professionals in promoting public health and ensuring the quality of animal products, highlighting their contribution both as inspectors in the public sector and as quality control agents in the industry.
