First Seminar on Animal Nutrition

Nutrition is one of the most important specialties in veterinary medicine. The appropriate nutritional status of our animals (pets, wildlife, or livestock) is indicative of adequate health. This implies understanding the digestive physiology of animals and how to meet their nutritional requirements; at the same time, being aware of the best nutrients and their management for proper feeding. On the other hand, many clinical components, conservation programs, and zootechnical management rely heavily on changes or adaptations in animal diets. Therefore, being aware of the most current technological advances in the food industry that have reached the country makes the work of the clinician or technical advisor much more effective and reliable.

For all the reasons mentioned above, the School of Veterinary Medicine at Universidad San Francisco de Quito, aware of this importance, has organized the first seminar on animal nutrition, covering current topics and taught by leading specialists in the field of nutrition in Ecuador. This event will include topics on the feeding of pets, wildlife, cattle, horses, poultry, and guinea pigs. In this way, support can be provided for the training of technicians and professionals advising on animal nutrition.
