Compulsory courses: Feed Manufacturing Technology Advanced Feed Manufacturing Technology Feed Production Planning and Management Feed Optimalisation for Different Species Heat Engineering Proteins, Polysaccharides and Fats/Oils
The rest will be optional courses and master thesis
What will I learn? The curriculum consists of a combination of nutritional, technological, chemical and physics topics, which combined will represent an unique approach to this topic.
You will become familiar with state-of-the-art feed processing equipment. You will also get knowledge about aquafeeds, petfoods and feeds for traditional production animals What can you use this qualification for? You will achieve skills needed for higher level management in the feed milling industry and related industries.
This Master study is also an excellent background for further scientific research in feed technology.
Admission and Requirements: A bachelor’s degree or its equivalent, with at least: 10 credits mathematics, 10 credits chemistry/ physics, 10 credits statistics and 60 credits biological subjects, preferably including nutrition.
