The most complete and up-to-date knowledge in Ruminant Cardiorespiratory, Gastrointestinal and Urinary Diseases, in a practical and real program that makes the difference"

Ruminant Cardiorespiratory, Gastrointestinal and Urinary Diseases are highly variable, even in cases that initially appear to be mild, it is common to see rapid deterioration of the individual, marked decrease in production and, in the case of infectious-contagious problems, which occupy the first place among respiratory diseases, the possibility of contagion and group affectation, with substantial losses for the producer. 

Consequently, the rapid recognition of the main diseases affecting the respiratory tract, the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system must be intervened in a timely manner, in order to allow early diagnosis and the implementation of control and treatment measures for affected animals, as well as to prevent transmission to other animals (in the case of livestock herds), seeking to minimize losses and restore the health of affected individuals and the entire farm. 

Additionally, the causes of diarrhea in bovines, which also represent a very common pathology, as well as its diagnosis and treatment, examination and main pathologies of the digestive tract of small ruminants will be discussed. In-depth knowledge of these disorders is essential for the ruminant veterinarian to be able to diagnose, treat and prevent them in the individual and in the rest of the farm.

Likewise, this postgraduate diploma covers  specific genitourinary diseases in bovines and small ruminants; some of them relatively frequent in the veterinarian's clinic of these species, such as urinary obstruction in male goats. The knowledge acquired in this program specializes the veterinarians in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these alterations, which are fundamental for their daily practice.

To achieve this remotely telepractice will be used: with the help of an innovative system of interactive videos and learning from an expert you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were facing the case you are learning at that moment. A concept that will make it possible to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way. 

The clinical, specialized and advanced fundamentals, based on veterinary evidence, that will allow you to face the daily intervention in cattle and ruminants"

Supported by evidence, the approach of this program will allow you to learn in a contextual way and acquire the skills you will really need in your daily practice"

The completion of this postgraduate diploma provides the veterinary professional with specialized and advanced clinical fundamentals, based on evidence to face the daily clinical practice in cattle and ruminants. 

Additionally, to this up-to-date approach to the problems encountered in daily clinical practice, the bibliography provided and the structuring of the topics will allow you to keep this knowledge up to date. 

The postgraduate diploma in Ruminant Cardiorespiratory, Gastrointestinal and Urinary Diseases will allow veterinary clinicians to update and expand their skills with the quality of the largest online university in the world"
