A complete and total update on Poultry Production and Health with the most comprehensive and effective program on the online educational market"

Increasing globalization and its impact on animal health and, therefore, public health, is a topic of worldwide interest.  An increase in international trade and structural changes in nation states have led to the emergence and spread of global health phenomena that represent risks, challenges and opportunities for producers and consumers. This is turn has posed serious challenges for health agencies, professionals and educational institutions. 

In line with the concept of One Health, the professionals will be able to identify issues arising in veterinary medicine that also impact public health (such as zoonotic diseases and antibiotic resistance) and food safety. 

The student will develop specialized knowledge of the documentation that the competent authorities need to be notified of and the procedure for sample collection and the operation of reference laboratories. Lastly, new challenges and advances in animal health will be explored. 

The postgraduate certificate in Poultry Production and Health provides a complete overview of the current situation in poultry production. 

It analyzes the different systems used for the production of these species and the differences and similarities between them. 

It analyzes the welfare and biosecurity measures required for each production system and the most effective control strategies to combat the main diseases, as well as prevention measures and possible alternative treatments. 

This module provides the tools and the knowledge needed to identify the main viral, infectious, parasitic and fungal diseases in farm birds. 

At the end of the program, the clinician will be able to independently carry out a necropsy for birds, with the best technique and identifying the steps required. 

During this program, students will benefit from being able to apply the theoretical knowledge they acquire to specific practical cases.
