A postgraduate certificate that will enable you to work in the sectors of food production for or with animal origin, with the solvency of a high-level professional"

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 cover the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will put the practical knowledge derived from their own experience at the service of the postgraduate certificate: one of the differential qualities of this program. 

This mastery of the subject is complemented by the effectiveness of the methodological design of this Expert. 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 a methodological design that relies on proven teaching techniques, this postgraduate certificate in Chemical Composition of Food and Quality of the Raw Materials for Ruminants and Non-Ruminants 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 focused on helping medical professionals reach a much higher level of expertise and control. A goal you will easily achieve with a postgraduate certificate of high intensity and precision. 

If your objective is to redirect your capacity towards new paths of success and development, this is your postgraduate certificate: a training that aspires to excellence"

General Objective

• 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 judgement to make the most appropriate decision in terms of differential costs, etc.diferenciales, 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

• Develop the most important concepts of Animals. Nutrition, taking into account the functions and effects of food in the digestion process in large and small livestock
• Classify foods according to their origin and their nutritional characteristics
• Design a balanced diet considering the nutritional requirements of the species and categories
• Implement the procedures for manufacturing concentrates, guaranteeing the quality of the product to be used for feeding the different productive species
• Apply nutrition and feeding strategies for the different productive species according to an annual program based on the herd's requirements
• Evaluate the nutritional quality and impact on production systems (meat or milk) of different fresh, preserved and natural feed. These could be either in direct grazing or as forage reserves such as hay (rolls) or whole plant silage, with or without the addition of additives
• (Nutriliq, Smartfeed, etc.), Multi-Nutritional Blocks (MNB), Rumen Activator Supplements (RAS) or energy or protein concentrates
• Develop the main chemical determinations that characterize a feed (concentrates, fresh forages, preserved forages and additives)
