The course has been divided into five sessions that will address from avian immunology and biosecurity to the necropsies, through rural poultry and ecology. “Anatomophysiological factors in birds related to immunity”, “International experiences of “criolla” bird breeding and importance of food security” or “Prevalent diseases in poultry farms of the Peruvian coast. Control and prevention”, among others, are the topics that will be addressed during the training sessions.

Vet. Liliana Rebolledo (University of Sao Paulo).

This course is the result of the agreement that Scientist and Biovet S.A signed in 2016 to collaborate in scientific research and teaching related to animal nutrition. Within this agreement in 2017 four graduation theses were carried out in the experimental farm built exprofeso, by students. The objective of all the studies is to evaluate the improvement of intestinal welfare by incorporating pronutrients (natural extracts of plants) into the feed that are used in animal production.
