The approach to neurological and ophthalmic diseases in ruminants, with all the specific developments that field work brings with it, in a postgraduate certificate focused on real practice"

When working with ruminants, as the production animals that they are, it is considered essential to learn about Animal Production, which is combined with Anatomopathological Diagnosis, a fundamental part in the diagnosis of herd pathologies. 

The first topics of the postgraduate certificate deal with the study of necropsy together with the differential lesion diagnoses in the most frequent processes of ruminants, in addition to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. 

With respect to production, it examines the productive management of dairy cattle, beef cattle, and small ruminants for both meat and milk. Production management is focused on animal welfare, reducing environmental impact as much as possible. All this added with the optimization of the feeding for the different types of productions in their different productive phases. 

Finally, a major basis of productivity is based on genetic potential. The last topic analyzes genetic improvement and selection with different methodologies that allow us to increase economic profitability. 

Essential yet rare training for the specialist veterinary clinician that will set you apart as a specialist in this field of work"

The clinical, specialized and advanced fundamentals, based on veterinary evidence, that will allow you to face the daily intervention in cattle and ruminants"

Our teaching staff is made up of professionals from different fields related to this specialty. In this way, TECH makes sure to offer professionals the up-to-date objective it intends. A multidisciplinary team of professionals trained and experienced in different environments who will develop theoretical knowledge efficiently, but, above all, will provide students with practical knowledge derived from their teaching experience: one of the differential qualities of this program.

This mastery of the subject 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. In this way, the student will be able to study with comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that will give them the operability they need in their 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 telepractice will be used: with the help of an innovative system of interactive videos and Learning from an Expert they will be able to acquire the knowledge as if they were facing the case you are learning at that moment. A concept that will make it possible to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

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

Supported by evidence, the approach of this program will allow you to learn in a contextual way and acquire the skills you will really need in your daily practice”

The completion of this postgraduate certificate provides the veterinary professional with specialized and advanced clinical fundamentals, based on evidence to face the daily clinical practice in cattle and ruminants. 

In addition to this up-to-date approach to the problems encountered in daily clinical practice, the bibliography provided and the structuring of the topics will allow you to keep this knowledge up to date.

The postgraduate certificate in Animal Production and Ruminant Anatomopathological Diagnosis will allow veterinary clinicians to update and broaden their knowledge and skills in Ruminant Medicine and Surgery"

General Objectives

• Obtain productive yields in beef and dairy cattle in an economically viable manner and in a context of production sustainability 
• Manage animal feeding as an element for the technical-economic optimization of milk production in cattle, respecting animal welfare and minimizing environmental impact 
• Advise and manage, technically and economically, the reproductive plans of small ruminant farms
• Manage a farm animal population from a genetic point of view and initiate or complete their specialization in notions of genetic improvement and selection 

Specific Objectives

• Adequate interpretation of dairy cattle production parameters and assessment of new management and adaptation models in the face of a climate change scenario 
• Optimal management of beef cattle farms within the framework of sustainability and animal welfare
• Advise and manage, technically and economically, the reproductive plans of small ruminant farms 
• Assess and interpret production parameters in a small ruminant farm, considering economic and welfare aspects 
• Design action protocols and technologies to optimize small ruminant farms, whether for dairy or meat production 
• Analyze the feeding of dairy cows in a sustainable environment while maintaining production objectives, using, as much as possible, grazing resources 
• Manage the feeding of maternal beef cows in a sustainable environment maintaining production objectives and using, as much as possible, grazing resources Optimization of the fattening process through the use of by-products
• Examine the feeding of herds in a sustainable environment while maintaining production objectives, using, as much as possible, grazing resources, optimizing the lamb fattening process through feeding strategies 
• Establish the concepts of consanguinity and kinship Estimate these parameters in a domestic cattle population as a basis for a correct genealogical management of the population 
• Estimate the fundamental genetic parameters of a population: repeatability and heritability as a basis for a correct approach to genetic improvement. 
• Use the methodologies required for genetic improvement through selection 

A comprehensive program that will boost your ability to work in prevention, management and cost reduction in animal production, giving you greater competitiveness in the labor market"
