A complete and total update in Poultry Production and Health with the most complete and effective training program on the online educational market"

The postgraduate diploma in Poultry Production and Health brings a complete vision to the current situation of poultry production. 

It analyzes the different systems used for the production of these species and the differences and similarities between them. 

It analyzes the welfare and biosecurity measures required depending on the production system in question and establishes the main control strategies against the main diseases, as well as prevention tools and possible alternative treatments. 

This module provides the tools and the knowledge needed to identify the main diseases of viral, infectious, parasitic or fungal nature in farm birds. 

In order to do a good job in the field, the professional must have a solid theoretical knowledge of anatomy, pathophysiology and therapeutics, which they already possess through their higher academic training. But university programs sometimes lack extended and practical training. 

The postgraduate diploma develops the anatomy and physiology of the species of interest, focusing on the characteristics of each species from a pathophysiological point of view, directly related to animal health. 

After completing this training, the veterinary professional will have developed a specialized, broad and interrelated vision of the anatomy and physiology of the animal species under study and will be able to understand in a simple and global way the processes that can affect these individuals. 

Feeding in livestock farms requires the optimal application of feeding procedures that allow the animal to obtain a balanced ration in terms of energy and nutrients. Therefore, it is essential to expand the principles governing the nutrition of different species, the nutritional value and characteristics of different foods, as well as the process of their preparation. This is so that the administrator or manager has the ability to make decisions and propose feeding techniques as part of their professional performance.
