in the production, quality control, economic enhancement and marketing of
products of animal origin, and animal feed.
- Plan and manage mechanized and automated systems in agro-livestock production contexts and apply renewable and eco-sustainable energy
technologies to agro-livestock systems;
- Organize, develop and manage the nutrition of farm animals according to animal health, food
quality and human health;
- Manage the interactions between livestock activities, wildlife and the environment in order to plan an integrated and
sustainable use of territorial resources;
- Design and plan the genetic management of livestock populations for the improvement of production and
for the maintenance of the biodiversity of the available genetic resources;
- Evaluate new business models from a managerial and estimation perspective for the competitive development of the livestock sector
;
- Apply biosecurity measures to prevent the introduction or limit the spread of infectious and
spreading diseases in animal, domestic and wild populations;
