DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE
PROGRAMME

Entorno social, económico, biológico y ambiental a nivel local


El quehacer de la investigación en el doctorado en Ciencia Animal tendrá su base en el desarrollo endógeno, fortaleciendo el proceso de investigación con base en las necesidades del entorno social, económico, biológico y ambiental a nivel local. Este escenario facilitará la transferencia de tecnologías e innovación para solucionar problemáticas locales e impulsar la transferencia del conocimiento al sector agropecuario. Paralelamente, los resultados de las investigaciones contribuirán a generar las bases para la incorporación de grupos de investigación multidisciplinarios, que contribuyan conjuntamente a la extensión de la frontera del conocimiento y el desarrollo de políticas agrarias que protejan y optimicen procesos asociados a la producción animal.
