Course:
Fish Applied Nutrition (ended) – Spanish
Program Description
Why do we offer the Fish Applied Nutrition Course?
Nutrition is one of the most relevant factors influencing the welfare and health of farmed fish. Therefore, this course aims to provide conceptual and practical knowledge to analyze and evaluate the nutritional value and multiple benefits of feed components in farmed fish; all this in order to offer a source of competitive advantage in various areas of business and professional development.
Students will acquire knowledge about the structure and function of fish digestive system, as well as the bioavailability, bioaccessibility, bioenergetics of both conventional and alternative nutrients and ingredients. Similarly, students will address very diverse topics such as the analysis and evaluation of productive parameters, sustainability, raw material requirements and formulation of balanced diets for farmed fish.
The Fish Applied Nutrition course is 100% synchronous learning, and is taught through an efficient and modern learning platform.
If you want to develop your potential, achieve significant goals and generate an impact in your organization, we invite you to our course Fish Applied Nutrition.
