A postgraduate certificate that will enable you to work in Ruminant Nutrition and Feeding with the solvency of a high-level professional"

The current world population estimated at 7.6 billion is expected to increase to 8.6 billion by 2030, and animal nutrition is one of the disciplines called upon to help solve the problem of producing sufficient and economical protein to feed this growing demand in an efficient and sustainable manner. 

This postgraduate certificate in Ruminant Nutrition and Feeding develops the main aspects related to digestive physiology, nutrition and feeding of ruminants and their marked anatomical and physiological differences with respect to the other species studied. A specificity that allows them to have, as a main characteristic, the ability to take advantage of resources rich in fiber, such as pastures and forages, which have little nutritional value for non-ruminant species. 

A high-value course designed for professionals to update and perfect their technical and practical knowledge in this sector. A complete and effective course that will propel you to a higher level of competence. 

With an innovative format, this training allows participants to develop autonomous learning and optimal time management. 

Join the elite with this highly effective educational program and open new paths to your professional progress”

General Objectives

• Determine the properties, use and metabolic transformations of nutrients in relation to the nutritional needs of an animal
• Provide clear and practical tools so that the professional can identify and classify the different foods that are available in the region and have better elements of judgment to make the most appropriate decision in terms of differential costs, etc
• Propose a series of technical arguments which allow for a better quality of diet and nutrition and therefore, improve the end produce (meat or milk)
• Analyze the different raw material components with both positive and negative effects on Animals. Nutrition and how animals use them for the production of animal protein
• Identify and understand the different levels of digestibility for each of the various nutritional components according to their origin 
• To analyze the key aspects for the design and creation of diets (food) aimed at achieving the maximum utilization of nutrients by animals intended for animal protein production
• Provide specialized training on the nutritional requirements for the two main species of pigs to be used in animal protein production
• Develop specialized understanding of the nutritional requirements of the porcine species and the different feeding strategies needed in order to guarantee that they reach the expected welfare and production standards according to their production stage 
• Provide specialized theoretical and practical knowledge on the physiology of the digestive system of ruminants
• Analyze the digestive system of ruminants and their particular way of assimilating nutrients from fiber-rich foods
• Analyze the main additive groups used in the food production industry, focused on ensuring the quality and performance of different food products
• Analyze, in a clear way, how the complete animal feed manufacturing process is developed: the phases and processes which feed undergoes to guarantee its nutritional composition, quality and safety

Specific Objectives

• Analyze the digestive system of ruminants and their particular way of assimilating nutrients from fiber-rich foods
• Analyze the nutritional metabolism of ruminants, recognising their potential and their limitations
• Determine the nutritional requirements for the maintenance and production of the main ruminants of zootechnical interest
• Examine the main food resources for ruminants’ nutrition, their main characteristics, their advantages and limitations 
• Evaluate the main feeding strategies for ruminants according to the production context
