A complete program that will give you the broadest and most specialized knowledge on the most common affectations and productive consequences in ruminants”

Respiratory system diseases occupy the second place in disease incidence in ruminants. This module groups respiratory diseases together with pathologies of the cardiovascular and hemolymphatic systems. 

Although in the diseases of the three systems we find highly variable severity, even in cases that initially appear to be mild, it is common to see rapid deterioration of the individual, marked decrease in production and, in the case of infectious-contagious problems that occupy the first place among respiratory diseases, the possibility of contagion and group affectation, with substantial losses for the producer. Consequently, the rapid recognition of the main diseases affecting the respiratory tract, the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system is of vital importance for timely intervention to allow early diagnosis and the implementation of control and treatment measures for affected animals, as well as to prevent transmission to other animals (in the case of livestock herds), seeking to minimize losses and restore the health of affected individuals and the entire operation.

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 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. 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 they are learning at that moment. A concept that will make it possible to integrate 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"
