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

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. But university programs sometimes lack extended and practical 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. 

Feeding in livestock and wildlife farms requires the optimal application of feeding procedures that allow the animal to obtain a balanced ration in terms of energy and nutrients. Therefore, it is essential to expand the principles governing the nutrition of different species, the nutritional value and characteristics of different foods, as well as the process of their preparation. This is so that the administrator or manager has the ability to make decisions and propose feeding techniques as part of their professional performance.  

The general objective of this postgraduate diploma is that the professional develops a specialized knowledge of animal nutrition and feed. They will apply the concepts of good sanitary and agricultural practices, ensuring the quality and safety of the food consumed by animals, without disturbing the health and profitability derived from agricultural and hunting activities, with a focus on prevention and sanitary control.  

Through studying this course, the student will gain satisfaction in being able to apply the theoretical knowledge they acquired in concrete practical cases.

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 training 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 course: 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: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will 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 actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way. 

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

With a methodological design based on proven teaching techniques, this innovative course 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 work experience. An objective that is complemented, moreover, 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 course for you a training that aspires to excellence"
