The postgraduate certificate in Poultry Farms in Extensive Systems has a comprehensive program that covers the broadest spectrum of species and breeds used in Animal Production in extensive systems. Not only is in-depth and specialized attention paid to the most common productions, but also to other much less common but highly relevant productions, which demand a greater degree of specialization from professionals in the area. 

Likewise, the degree of knowledge and professional experience of the Progression's professors allows them to deal with very specific productions, where it is very difficult to access levels of specialization, except for the small number of people who have had the opportunity to develop their knowledge within the scope of this type of livestock farming.

This program is the most specialized since the development of each subject is structured according to the knowledge and experience of the teaching team, avoiding generalist voluntarism which, although it can provide acceptable global visions, lacks the capacity to study in depth each and every one of the subjects that need to be addressed with the highest quality. 

The high levels of knowledge provided by the faculty in the areas of economics, genetics and animal breeding contribute decisively to consolidate and expand knowledge in two areas that are absolutely fundamental to achieve success in the management of extensive livestock production.

Postgraduate Certificate in Poultry Production in Extensive Systems

Production in the rural sector is a key element in the livelihood of small and large-scale urban areas, because without the proper procedures that take place there to transform raw materials (mostly of animal origin) into primary consumer goods, life would be unviable. Can we then talk about high veterinary standards while relegating the production chain that sustains us? Clearly not, and given that one of the main aspects of this chain is poultry farming, TECH Technological University presents its Postgraduate Certificate in Poultry Farming in Extensive Systems, a high-level curricular program that brings together the latest in distance education to provide you with the most relevant knowledge in the area aimed at the breeding, management, health, use and marketing of different types of poultry: from those that make up classical poultry farming: hens and chickens, to those that are part of alternative poultry farming: ducks, quails, partridges, among others. All this, nuanced with demanding food biosafety protocols, as well as notions in organic poultry farming that seeks to ensure environmentally sustainable production and free of animal abuse.

Poultry industry, why should you study it?

There are four pillars that support poultry farming: genetics, nutrition, preventive medicine and poultry management. With the course offered by TECH you will be able to update yourself in each of these items, thus achieving the necessary expertise in a profile that is wide requested in a market of continuous expansion. In some Latin American countries such as Colombia, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, the poultry industry generates directly and indirectly about 400 thousand jobs while, in European countries such as Spain, it generates revenues of more than 2,300 million Euros and is considered one of the main engines in the economy of that country according to a report by the Spanish Interprofessional Association of Poultry Meat (Avianza). Similar statistics are applicable to different countries, which clearly affirms the tremendous momentum of this market. By accessing our Postgraduate Certificate, you too can be part of the growth in this sector, providing not only specialized knowledge that will lead to improvements in the processes, but also feedback of pleasant experiences that will enrich your personal life by being part of the new trends in ecological development.
