    INFO SUL CORSO

    Il corso ha lo scopo di approfondire le tematiche riguardanti la valutazione del benessere animale nell'ambito zootecnico. Saranno approfonditi gli aspetti di valutazione del benessere animale (misure dirette e indirette), di etica applicata alle scienze animali, sistemi di certificazione del benessere animale e rapporto con l'emergente zootecnia di precisione (PLF). Il laureato saprà coniugare il miglioramento quantitativo e qualitativo delle produzioni animali con il benessere e la sanità degli animali allevati in un'ottica di salute ambientale, riconoscendo il proprio ruolo all'interno della società in quanto portatore di interessi. 


    OBIETTIVI GENERALI DEL CORSO

    • Conoscenza e capacità di comprensione: Fornire allo studente conoscenze di tipo teorico e applicativo circa la valutazione del benessere animale in allevamento
    • Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione: Attraverso le conoscenze acquisite, gli studenti saranno in grado di approntare misure gestionali e di controllo utili a garantire il benessere degli animali allevati. La capacità di applicare alle problematiche di settore le conoscenze acquisite sarà inoltre stimolata e verificata durante l’intero percorso formativo mediante approcci teorici e pratici durante le lezioni e le esercitazioni in campo.
    • Autonomia di giudizio: Gli studenti acquisiranno autonomia di giudizio per la valutazione del benessere animale nelle diverse specie allevate. Saranno inoltre in grado di utilizzare gli stumenti per individuare le misure di benessere specie-specifiche per adattarle nei diversi contesi. Avranno inoltre la capacità di analizzare i problemi relativi al benessere animale da un punto di vista etico.
    • Abilità comunicative: Attraverso idonee conoscenze gli studenti svilupperanno la capacità di comunicare in contesti tecnico-scientifici, di elaborare e discutere dati sperimentali, di lavorare in gruppo e di trasmettere e divulgare informazioni su temi di benessere animale. 
    • Capacità di apprendimento: Gli studenti acquisiranno durante il loro percorso formativo il metodo utile al completamento e all’aggiornamento autonomo della loro preparazione culturale e professionale. Tali capacità prepareranno gli studenti sia ad affrontare studi successivi (terzo livello) che alla vita professionale. Gli studenti saranno infatti dotati di valide competenze utili alla comprensione di articoli scientifici, alla consultazione bibliografica e alla ricerca su banche dati, in particolare su argomenti pertinenti l’allevamento ed il benessere animale
