LM-86 - Animal husbandry
Il corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze e Tecnologie delle Produzioni Animali mira a formare professionisti dotati di una solida preparazione scientifica e di avanzate capacità operative nei settori dell'allevamento, della genetica e dell'alimentazione animale, dell'industria di trasformazione dei prodotti di origine animale, dei sistemi zootecnici e faunistici, della biosicurezza degli allevamenti, in funzione del benessere degli animali e nel rispetto dell?ambiente, anche a tutela della salute dell'uomo.
In particolare, i laureati in Scienze e Tecnologie delle Produzioni Animali devono essere in grado di:
- pianificare e gestire sistemi meccanizzati e automatizzati in contesti produttivi agro-zootecnici e applicare le tecnologie energetiche rinnovabili ai sistemi agro-zootecnici;
- organizzare, sviluppare e gestire l'alimentazione degli animali da reddito in funzione della salute degli animali, della qualità degli alimenti e della salute dell'uomo;
- gestire le interazioni tra attività zootecniche, fauna selvatica ed ambiente al fine di pianificare un uso integrato e sostenibile delle risorse territoriali;
- progettare e pianificare la gestione genetica delle popolazioni zootecniche;
- applicare misure di biosicurezza per prevenire l'introduzione o limitare la diffusione delle malattie infettive e diffusive nelle popolazioni animali, domestiche e selvatiche;
- applicare le tecnologie di trasformazione e la normativa in vigore garantendo la qualità, la sicurezza e la salubrità degli alimenti di origine animale.

- applicare le tecnologie di trasformazione e la normativa in vigore garantendo la qualità, la sicurezza e la salubrità degli alimenti di origine animale.
Tra le attività che i laureati magistrali svolgeranno, si indicano in particolare:
- la gestione dei sistemi zootecnici intensivi: negli allevamenti zootecnici intensivi delle specie da reddito, nelle associazioni di razza e di categoria;
- le attività professionali e di progetto nell'ambito della nutrizione e alimentazione animale: negli allevamenti zootecnici e nelle industrie mangimistiche;
- le attività gestionali negli ambiti della produzione, trasformazione e commercializzazione degli alimenti di origine animale: nelle industrie agro-alimentari e nelle imprese della grande distribuzione organizzata;
- la gestione della biosicurezza della filiera zootecnica: negli allevamenti zootecnici intensivi ed estensivi;
- la gestione e la conservazione dei sistemi zootecnici estensivi e faunistici: in contesti territoriali, d'interesse pubblico e privato, nei quali è necessario sviluppare un'adeguata integrazione tra la gestione del patrimonio zootecnico e quello faunistico, allevato o a vita libera;
- la ricerca scientifica nelle Università italiane o straniere, in enti di ricerca pubblici e privati e nell'industria.
