The approach to one of the groups of diseases that can have the greatest impact on the successful reproduction of ruminants, in a very complete and highly qualified course”

To be able to intervene successfully in ruminant veterinary medicine, it is essential to know the different diagnostic methods and, of course, the most appropriate alternatives for the treatment of the different pathologies. This Postgraduate Certificate will address metabolic disorders together with the endocrinopathies that accompany them.

We will examine the dermatological alterations of cattle and small ruminants, including pathologies that affect the mucocutaneous junctions, some of which are highly contagious among the animals of a farm, such as viral, fungal and parasitic diseases. These constitute the most frequent group of causes of skin alterations, being, in many cases, not only of rapid transmission, but of obligatory reporting in many countries (e.g. vesicular diseases) and with a severe impact on production and even on the market, as they constitute non-tariff barriers for the export of livestock products. 

Therefore, knowledge of these diseases is essential for rapid identification and prompt management, including the establishment of appropriate management guidelines.

Finally, it addresses the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of other endocrinopathies and some less frequently occurring metabolic disorders, as well as some congenital diseases affecting the skin and adnexa, and endocrine glands. 
The study of diseases caused by nutritional alterations due to inadequate diets, as well as pathologies related to exposure and consumption of toxic substances, play a relevant role in Metabolic, Endocrine and Dermatological Diseases in Ruminants. Toxicology and Neonatology
