A comprehensive update on Animal Nutrition and Physiology with the most complete and effective program on the online educational market’’

In order to offer excellence in the field, professionals depend on the sound theoretical knowledge of anatomy, pathophysiology and treatments, provided their higher academic training. But university programs sometimes lack professional development that is comprehensive and practical. 

This postgraduate certificate covers the anatomy and physiology of each species focusing on the pathophysiological characteristics directly related to animal health. 

After completing this program, the veterinary professional will have developed detailed, broad and integral expertise on the anatomy and physiology of the animal species under study and will have learned about the diseases that can affect them in a straightforward and overarching way. 

Feeding in livestock and wildlife farms requires the optimal application of feeding procedures that allow the animal to obtain a balanced ration in terms of energy and nutrients. In order to provide this, it is essential to explore the principles governing the nutrition of different species, and the nutritional value and characteristics of different foods, as well as their preparation. This will allow administrators or managers to make decisions and propose feeding methods, as part of their role. 

This postgraduate certificate aims to provide professionals with expertise on Animal Nutrition and Physiology. They will promote good sanitary and agricultural practices, ensuring the quality and safety of the food consumed by animals, without affecting animal health and profits derived from agricultural and hunting activities, with a focus on disease prevention and control. 

While studying this module, the student will be able to effectively apply the theoretical knowledge they have acquired to specific practical cases.

Join the elite, with this highly effective postgraduate certificate and open up new paths to help you advance in your career’’

A comprehensive program that will allow you to acquire the most advanced knowledge in order to provide specialist veterinary care in a range of areas’’

Our teaching staff is made up of professionals from different fields related to Animal Nutrition and Physiology. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with an update that is in line with objectives. A multidisciplinary team of professionals trained and experienced in different areas will cover the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but above all, they will bring their practical knowledge from their own experience to the course: one of the factors which makes this program unique.

This mastery of the subject matter is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodological design. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give you the operability you need in your training.

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice learning: with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way. 

Benefit from the experience of practising professionals and the analysis of actual success stories, in this high-impact program"

With a methodological design based on proven teaching techniques, this innovative course will use a range of teaching approaches to allow you to learn in a dynamic and effective way"

Our goal is to prepare highly qualified professionals for professional practice. An objective that is further complemented, in a holistic manner, by promoting human development that lays the foundations for a better society. This objective is materialized in helping professionals to reach a much higher level of competence and control. A goal that, you will be able to achieve in just a few months with this high-intensity and effective postgraduate certificate.

If your objective is to broaden your skills set to open up new paths to success and development, this is the course for you: a postgraduate certificate that aspires to excellence’’
