A complete and total update in Swine Production and Health with the most complete and effective training program on the online educational market"

The profitability of livestock production requires high sanitary standards. Advances in swine production have always evolved in parallel with improvements in animal health. 

In spite of the important results achieved in disease control and prevention, there are still sanitary problems in the swine production sector that require a therapeutic solution. The industry continues to be threatened by new or re-emerging diseases, which is why the use of antibacterial treatments is still a necessary tool in pig farming.

However, disease control must be carried out in an integrated manner, on several fronts, such as hygienic measures for cleaning and disinfection, vector control, stress-free animal management, personnel hygiene, visitor control, animal quarantine, isolation and protection of buildings, sanitary vacuum, etc.

The curriculum provides a solid and up-to-date training in Swine Production and Health, successfully addressing the work of veterinary specialists in companies and industries engaged in swine production.

In order to do a good job in the field, the professional must have a solid theoretical knowledge of anatomy, pathophysiology and therapeutics, which they already possess through their higher academic training. 

The postgraduate diploma develops the anatomy and physiology of the species of interest, focusing on the characteristics of each species from a pathophysiological point of view, directly related to animal health.

After completing this training, the veterinary professional will have developed a specialized, broad and interrelated vision of the anatomy and physiology of the animal species under study and will be able to understand in a simple and global way the processes that can affect these individuals.

Join the elite, with this highly effective educational training and open new paths to help you advance in your professional progress"

A complete training program that will allow you to acquire the most advanced knowledge in all the areas of intervention of a specialized veterinarian"

Our teaching staff is made up of professionals from different fields related to this specialty. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the educational update we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of professionals trained and experienced in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but above all, they will bring their practical knowledge from their own experience to the postgraduate diploma: one of the differential qualities of this training.

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: a plan which views learning as an eminently practical process. To achieve it through distance learning we use telepractice. 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 facing the scenario you are learning at that moment. A concept that will allow you to integrate and consolidate the learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

With the experience of working professionals and the analysis of real success stories, in a high-impact training approach"

With a methodological design based on proven teaching techniques, this innovative postgraduate diploma will take you through different teaching approaches to allow you to learn in a dynamic and effective way"

Our objective is to train highly qualified professionals for the working world. An objective that is complemented in a global 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, in just a few months you will be able to achieve, with a high intensity and effective training.

If your objective is to broaden your skills set to include new paths of success and development, this is the postgraduate diploma for you: a training that aspires to excellence"
