We offer you the most comprehensive program on the market to bring Extensive Livestock Management to the same level as clinical and sanitary practice, offering your clients the highest quality in both services" 

The Postgraduate certificate in Beef and Lidia Cattle in Extensive Farming Systems has a comprehensive program that covers the widest spectrum of species and breeds used in Animal Production in Extensive Systems. Not only is in-depth and specialized attention paid to the most common productions, but also to other much less common but highly relevant productions, which demand a greater degree of specialization from professionals in the area. 

Likewise, the degree of knowledge and professional experience of the professors of the Postgraduate Certificate allow them to deal with very specific productions, where it is very difficult to access levels of specialization, except for the small number of people who have had the opportunity to develop their knowledge within the scope of this type of livestock farming. 

This program is the most specialized since the development of each subject is structured according to the knowledge and experience of the teaching team, avoiding generalist voluntarism which, although it can provide acceptable global visions, lacks the capacity to study in depth each and every one of the subjects that need to be addressed with the highest quality. 

The high levels of knowledge provided by the faculty in the areas of Economics, as well as Genetics and Animal Breeding contribute decisively to consolidate and broaden knowledge in two subjects that are absolutely fundamental for the development of the company.
