You will delve into the anatomical, cellular and hormonal aspects that occur during blastocyst implantation and possible abnormalities" 

From the earliest data on animal reproduction in Egyptian hieroglyphs, through the ancient veterinarians to the present day, humankind has always been interested in the study of animal reproduction to increase populations and obtain better yields. 

Animal reproduction has evolved exponentially in recent decades and its current development means that technologies implemented a few years ago are now obsolete. Technique, science and human genius combine and bring, as a consequence, results identical to natural reproduction. 

The objective of this program focuses on the mastery and control of all physiological, pathological and biotechnological aspects that affect the reproductive organ function of domestic animals. The species studied in this postgraduate diploma are: bovids, equidae, swine, sheep, goats and canids; selection made based on the importance and development of assisted reproduction at present. 

The program in Reproductive Biology in Domestic Mammals is developed to expand upon the current knowledge of the physiological and pathological mechanisms of natural reproduction; as well as the specialization in the different assisted reproduction techniques available in the different species of domestic mammals. 

The group of professors teaching the postgraduate diploma is made up of specialists in animal reproduction with a work history of more than 30 years of experience, not only in the field of teaching, but also with practical activity, research and directly in livestock farms and animal reproduction centers. In addition, the teaching team is actively developing the latest techniques in assisted reproduction biotechnologies, making the genetic material of different species of international zootechnical interest available to the market. 

The specialization will be based on the theoretical and scientific aspects, combining them with the practical and applicative professionalism of each of the subjects in the current work. Continuous specialization after completing undergraduate studies is sometimes complicated and difficult to balance with work and family activities, so this TECH  postgraduate diploma gives students the opportunity to continue training and specializing online with a large amount of practical audiovisual support that will allow students to advance in reproductive techniques in their work environment. 

This 100% online program will allow you to balance your studies with your professional work, while increasing your knowledge in this field”
