University certificate
The world's largest faculty of veterinary medicine”
Introduction to the Program
Las Especies Mayores pueden contar con patologías complejas, por lo que es necesario tener veterinarios especializados que puedan tratarlas”
La Postgraduate diploma en Laboratory Analysis in Large Animals incorpora conocimiento novedoso en función de los últimos avances científicos que permite al profesional veterinario mantenerse actualizado en las nuevas corrientes terapéuticas y en las enfermedades emergentes que afectan a las Especies Mayores en todo el mundo como consecuencia de la globalización.
Es necesario un conocimiento especializado y avanzado de estas enfermedades ya que pueden ocurrir brotes de algunas enfermedades consideradas como erradicadas u otras nuevas en todos los países del mundo.
La clínica es una actividad muy dinámica, aparecen nuevos tratamientos de forma constante en las publicaciones científicas y los veterinarios deben conocerlos para poder ofrecer estas opciones a sus clientes. Cada uno de los módulos de este programa abarca un sistema orgánico, haciendo hincapié en aquellos sistemas que se ven más frecuentemente afectados en las Especies Mayores.
Con respecto a los rumiantes, aunque su manejo y las enfermedades que padecen son diferentes a las de los caballos, se deben conocer igualmente con la suficiente calidad científica como para poder establecer tratamientos adecuados y pronósticos acertados. Los Camélidos del nuevo mundo o de Sudamérica (CSA), que incluyen principalmente, Llamas y Alpacas como animales domesticados, son animales criados con diferentes fines incluyendo la producción de fibra, animales de carga o producción cárnica en Sudamérica. Los caballos son animales que se emplean tanto para el ocio y como animales de compañía, como en diferentes disciplinas deportivas, lo que conlleva un importante valor económico añadido. Es fundamental tener un nivel alto de conocimientos en Medicina Interna para poder trabajar con estos caballos, ya que, por su valor económico, no son accesibles a clínicos con poca formación.
Este programa está diseñado por Profesores que poseen el máximo grado de especialización reconocido, garantizando así su calidad en todos los aspectos, tanto clínicos como científicos en especies mayores veterinarias.
