Practice Areas
The Brazilian agricultural sector is going through profound changes in the quest to modernize, increase productivity and respect for the environment, making companies more competitive in the market. Thus, the preparation, guidance, implementation and management of agricultural projects appropriate for different production systems is a growing field of work in Zootecnia.
Another friendly market is found in dietary plants and supplements, industries of meat and milk, cooperatives, associations of farmers and companies involved in the marketing of genetic material.
The Zootecnista also acts as director of educational institutions and in teaching in higher education and the average cycle.

Salary Range
The starting pay is around 08 minimum wages, varying according to experience and position of each professional.

The development   in recent years, has been permanent. We have improved the quality of our production facilities and services for our students, our main goal for them is focused on meeting their professional needs, providing quality in its higher education and putting it at a competitive level at the time of leaving our home study. With this in mind, we have invested in sustaining the operation of our facilities, for example, providing better facilities for our headquarters in pre-practice, LIVESTOCK FARM CENTER km 17, where each year we optimize livestock work and stay in our practice, the CENTER pig that runs on the campus of the Faculty and provides direct service to the community in genetic improvement by selling animals suitable, the production of birds, whose primary function is to provide the necessary materials to our students Last year, an area where they can practice detailed in the poultry field, obtaining an ideal product to sell and put on the market, the production centers of wildlife works at the farm 17 km, where the project is progressing and the people increases, we hope to achieve the objective of creating market alternatives in the sale of meat, the Language Center, which offers practical options for professionals and the general public, improving their quality of education and raising its level by learning the English language levels basic, intermediate and advanced, and finally, the computer center, part of which offer courses in the area of computing and information technology, improving their services in the field of internet, affordable to our students and the general public.

Highlighting further their presence, the Faculty of Zootecnia broadens their horizons, taking on his own responsibility and the tremendous support of the Provincial Municipality of Alto Amazonas, the opportunity to have two schools and a vocational specialty, the same as detailed below: SCHOOL OF AQUACULTURE TRAINING, TRAINING SCHOOL OF EDUCATION AND INITIAL SPECIALIST IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES. It has been two years since its establishment, and we can say that somehow we met the expectations of the population yurimaguina, giving them alternatives in their training as professionals. Aquaculture belongs to the Faculty of Sciences, as early education and foreign languages are part of the Faculty of Education and Humanities, indicating that the headquarters of these two powers is the city of Iquitos.

We seek that our teachers, working in line with the advancement of science and technology in the livestock, thereby responding to the confidence placed in the institution and work with dedication, disappointment and faced the crisis with a project better future.

We believe that there is much that lies ahead, but the best way to approach our target is to start walking, as we are doing today. We hope that we apologize for glitches that might arise, but we want our faculty to continue to grow forever, maintaining an atmosphere conducive to a productive discussion and useful for everyone.

The objective of the Second-level Degree Course in Animal Products, belonging to Class n. 79/S: Livestock Management, is to produce
the professionals essential to today’s livestock farming sector, where sustainability, food safety, and animal health and welfare are key
issues alongside those of animal yields, product quality and the profitability of farms. Students will acquire the necessary scientific
knowledge and the professional competence and skills for promoting and implementing technological and managerial innovation within
livestock farming systems, for the purposes of optimising yields and the health and welfare of animals, and for enhancing the quality of
animal products all the while keeping an eye on economic and sustainability issues.
