Course Overview

Globally the demand for animal products is expected to increase by 85% by 2050; this increase in demand can only be satisfied by increases in production efficiency and sustainable intensification of ruminant production systems. Within the UK, ruminant production systems are under increasing pressure to maintain profitability and improve product quality while maintaining animal welfare and reducing any detrimental environmental effects. As animal feed represents over 80% of the variable costs associated with production, understanding the science and technology associated with digestion, metabolism, growth, and lactation will be essential to increase the efficiency and maintain the profitability of ruminant production systems in the future. These awards will provide a recognized higher education qualification for graduates intending to work in the ruminant sector and contribute towards the continued professional development of veterinary surgeons and specialists already in full-time employment. The course is designed to equip practitioners with a higher level of skills and knowledge to apply recent developments in nutritional science, technology, and legislation to support sustainable expansion and intensification of ruminant production systems and meet consumer demands for ruminant products within the UK and globally. It is primarily aimed at UK graduates, veterinary surgeons, and specialists in the animal feed industry but may also interest overseas applicants.

General Eligibility

Candidates will be expected to have obtained a 2:1 honors degree in an appropriate agricultural, veterinary, or scientific subject. Alternatively, candidates with a good UK-based HND or foundation degree in a relevant agricultural or scientific subject and related industrial or professional experience of at least two years will be considered. For all candidates, evidence of qualifications and experience will be required.
