Postgraduate Diploma in Development of New Foods and Ingredients R&D&I Projects
The development of new animal feeds and ingredients is a veterinary Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) project that aims to create new nutritional solutions to improve animal health and welfare. The research and development of new feed and ingredients is fundamental to ensure animal health and welfare, improve food production and optimize the efficiency of the food chain. These projects involve teamwork and a combination of different scientific disciplines, and aim to continuously improve the quality of life of animals, as well as contribute to human welfare through sustainable and high quality production of food for human consumption.
This project seeks to develop new food and animal nutrition products that are healthier, sustainable, efficient and safe. It may involve research into new raw materials, evaluation of the effects of ingredients on animal performance and health, optimization of feed formulations, among other aspects.
The development of new animal feeds and ingredients ensures adequate nutrition for animals and helps prevent diseases and improve their quality of life. In addition, it can contribute to improve the productivity and profitability of animal farms by improving their performance in terms of production of meat, milk, eggs, among others.
The online academic program focuses on research, development and innovation in the animal feed industry and offers students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of feed formulation and the creation of new ingredients. The objective of this is to train high-level professionals capable of creating innovative solutions for animal feed and nutrition, and who are prepared to work in companies and organizations dedicated to the research and development of new feeds and ingredients in the food industry at the animal level.
