Obiettivi formativi

Students will acquire the most advanced knowledge of applied animal welfare as well as microbial genomics applied to outbreak investigation, source attribution and risk assessment. Students will develop skills in assessing welfare in livestock using the most recent welfare assessment tools developed around the world. Using scenario-based learning the students will learn how to identify risk factors for poor animal welfare and how to develop preventive and corrective measures to reduce the risk for negative welfare consequences. Regarding microbial genomics, the benefits of a real-time outbreak investigation and a more targeted source attribution and hazard identification/characterisation will be discussed along with major challenges and opportunities.
