Digital Technologies and Animal Health: New Perspectives for University Extension

Abstract

This article aims to conduct a narrative review of extension experiences in the context of animal health, with an emphasis on the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) in university projects. The research was carried out through the analysis of three scientific articles selected from a search on Google Scholar using the descriptors "university extension," "animal health," "experience report," "zoonosis," and "Instagram." After applying exclusion criteria such as duplicate articles and misalignment with the research objectives, three studies were chosen that report extension experiences focused on health education, the use of digital media, and social action during the pandemic. The presented reviews seek to analyze the contributions of these extension practices, as well as to discuss their impact on academic training, the university's social commitment, and the use of DICTs to bridge academic and community knowledge.
