Abstract

With the changes between human-animal relations, it is of great importance to raise awareness about the care that animal guardians must take with them. In this sense the Small Veterinary project of the Veterinary Medicine course of the UFPB has the objective of disseminating knowledge to the children of the city of Areia-PB. To evaluate teaching in a project action, questionnaires were applied before and after the action in a child from 5 to 8 years of age. Some significant differences as to the knowledge of terms such asanimal welfare and zoonoses were detected. These results point to an increase in the level of knowledge of these children, so similar initiatives should be disseminated throughout society to promote animal welfare. Key words: Education, animal welfare, zoonoses, animal.
