Programme description / The Degree course in Safety of Zootechnical Productions and Promotion of Typical Food of Animal Origin (CdS-SiVaL) provides two curricula: one oriented towards the safety of zootechnical production in the Mediterranean areas and developing countries; the other one oriented towards the nutritional quality, and the technological and sensory quality of products and typical food of animal origin. The course aims at training intellectual and professional figures in the field of animal production embracing the entire production chain ranging from farming techniques, quality of animal production and animal products, until control of food processing and preservation and quality of the final products prepared for gastronomy.
The CdS-SiVaL agrees with the EU approach “from farm to fork” that takes into account the total quality of food defined as the sum of health, nutritional, chemical, bromatological, organoleptic and technological qualities. The total quality is achieved through proper management techniques, environment management, use of appropriate processing techniques and gastronomic preparation. The CdS-SiVal also provides skills on the prevention, verification and control on hygiene of food of animal origin, feed, and all the activities that ensure a high standard of safety in the food chain, not only in the Mediterranean areas but also in developing countries.
