Very diverse and complex situations frequently arise in the ruminant clinic. This specific postgraduate certificate will show you the most up-to-date forms of intervention to increase success in all of them”

In all animal species, there is an economic limitation to be able to perform a surgical procedure, but it is in the surgery of animals for slaughter where it reaches its greatest expression. There are two fundamental differences in ruminant surgery: the economic limitation, maintaining the productivity of the animal, and the place where we perform the surgery (operating room). Many surgical procedures are going to be performed in an unclean environment, on the farm itself, with conspecifics around; dirt, insects, wind and with the patients themselves moving around or trying to kick you (standing surgery)

The ruminant surgeon will be confronted with numerous situations of varying complexity, having to perform castrations, resolve dystocic deliveries by cesarean section or perform abomasopexy, even by laparoscopy. 
The surgery of animals for slaughter has progressed enormously with technological advances such as laparoscopy, teloscopy or ultrasound diagnosis even in field surgery

It is essential to emphasize the importance of animal welfare, which is already taken for granted by veterinarians, farmers and the general public. We must know the basics of pain and its proper management through sedation and analgesia techniques and the surgical procedures necessary to resolve the pre-existing pathology

This module reviews the principles of ruminant surgery and reviews diagnostic procedures, surgical indications, operative techniques and postoperative management in digestive, skin, ocular, umbilical, male and female genital, and urinary tract surgery.
