You will learn to develop and advance in depth in the diseases that affect the digestive tract from the stomach to the rectum, assessing the stage of the pathologies that appear"

The pathologies of the different vital systems can present themselves in different ways in equine patients, from the horse's mood to anomalies that may appear in its body. However, the veterinarian's duty is to ensure the equine's safety, which is why through this program the professional will be able to identify which are and how to treat diseases and affections in the vital systems.

Nowadays, the most determinant proven factor for the appearance of problems in equines is given by the context in which the animal lives; to what use it is destined, what type of feeding it receives, as well as the management and stabling conditions.

Nutritional management and preventive medicine will play a decisive role in the treatment of the horse, so it is of vital importance to know the different cares in those affected areas.

In short, this postgraduate diploma will provide up-to-date information on how to use the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic tools, adapting them to the possibilities in the field. It will address the main pathologies and conditions affecting the horse, as well as recovery and prevention techniques.
