Philosophy
• Good animal welfare is synonymous of good production, without both a production system is not sustainable.
• The good treatment of animals is reflected in fair treatment of workers.
• Animal welfare is not a fashion, it is the result of a criticism of the system from an ethical and moral point of view of a evolving society.
• The vanguard veterinary education has in its curriculum the behavior, welfare and animal ethics as the basis of all its subjects, which are based on scientific findings, contributing to form a professional capable of providing treatments considering the physiological and mental needs of their patients , and with veterinary medicine based on facts.
• Veterinary schools with multidisciplinary teams provide students with an up-to-date and competitive professional perspective.
