Program Description

Livestock production has evolved in recent decades, currently facing social challenges beyond providing food for the population. The production of quality and safe food, respecting the environment and animal welfare and preserving the economic and social viability of the sector has led to a change in the sector's paradigm.

Thus, the modernization of livestock production, understood as such the entire value chain, is a fact at the regional and international level, so it is necessary to respond to the demands of an increasingly technical and expanding sector. The Master's Degree in Precision Livestock is focused on graduates in agronomy and veterinary medicine who want to specialize in cutting-edge animal production systems.

The contents of the degree are based on basic concepts obtained in the degrees of origin. These concepts range from engineering applied to livestock farms and animal management to biological issues related to physiology, behavior, reproduction and health, as well as the bases of applied biotechnology. These basic concepts are the basis on which precision farming is being built towards where the sector is currently heading, in which said knowledge is used to develop monitoring systems, for the development of biotechnological tools for the intelligent presentation of molecules and organisms to modulate the nutrition, health and well-being of animals, as well as information management and results that allow us to improve decision-making.

These contents have been developed in close collaboration between the academic and business world and the student body, thus covering the objectives of all the agents involved.
