The most up-to-date ways of working on Gastrointestinal and Urinary Tract Diseases in Ruminants , with a clinical and practical approach that makes the difference"

Throughout this Postgraduate certificate, the main alterations affecting the oral cavity, the pre-stomachs, the abomasum and the intestine will be studied. Some diseases, such as indigestion or abomasal displacements are very important in cattle, representing one of the main causes of visits to cattle farms.

Likewise, in this module the specific genitourinary diseases of bovines and small ruminants are developed; some of them relatively frequent in the veterinarian's clinic of these species as, for example, emergencies due to urinary obstruction in male goats. The knowledge acquired in this module specializes the veterinarians in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these alterations, which are fundamental for their daily practice.

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

This Postgraduate certificate in Gastrointestinal and Urinary Tract Diseases in Ruminants contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. The most important features of the program include:

• The latest technology in Online teaching software
