Unit of Competency ACMEQD402 - Determine equine oral function efficiency
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to determine equine oral function efficiency. It includes knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the equine head including oral structures and dentition, and how they relate to general health and in particular, to dental conditions and disease.The unit applies to individuals who use practical skills and knowledge to provide equine dental care and treatments across various equine industry sectors.Legislative and regulatory requirements, including work health and safety and animal welfare, apply to the scope of work of equine dental service providers, and vary according to state/territory jurisdictions. Users must check with the relevant regulatory authority before delivery. NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) generally have the same meaning in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the national model WHS legislation has not been implemented, RTOs must contextualise the unit of competency by referring to current OHS legislative requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify the structures and determine the function of the equine oral cavity
  • Define structures within the oral cavity by name and location from embryonic (or foetal) to mature equine
  • Describe the functions of oral cavity structures
  • Analyse and define structures and body systems that affect growth and health of oral structures and their functions
  • Describe and relate the process of prehension and mastication of food to normal oral function including the influence of different food types
       
Element: Relate the prehensile and masticatory function to teeth types
  • Identify and classify equine teeth by name and location using established equine dental formulae and terminology
  • Identify structures of equine teeth and periodontium by name and location
  • Identify and define stages of development and eruption of equine teeth
  • Identify normal development and eruption
  • Identify abnormalities of development and eruption
  • Define the function of individual equine teeth
       
Element: Age the horse by interpreting tooth eruption, dental wear patterns and tooth angles
  • Identify and define stages of equine dental eruption and age indicators
  • Determine incisor angles in relation to age and define the variables that affect this assessment
  • Identify and define occlusal wear and shape of teeth throughout horse life
  • Estimate the age of the horse based on presence or absence of deciduous and permanent teeth, wear patterns, tooth form and tooth angles
  • Document tooth status and oral conditions using accepted industry notation methods

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
