Animal Research Centre in Agricultural Science Directory

The Veterinary and Animal Research Centre CECAV is hosted by the University of TrásosMontes and Alto Douro Vila Real and conducts basic and applied research in veterinary and animal science aiming to generate new knowledge in animal health and production. The research emphasises the achievement of high levels of efficiency in livestock production without compromising animal health and welfare, product quality and safety and the surrounding environment. Increasing attention is also being given to wildlife management. These aims will be achieved through scientific projects that integrate the disciplinary knowledge of its members and that of researchers from other national and international centres working in cooperation with CECAV so that high quality scientific work can be developed. The obtained knowledge will be diffused in international peer reviewed journals, conferences, seminars and other scientific activities. It will be also used for counselling of authorities, private companies and animal producers. The expertise of our scientists is mainly applied in graduated and postgraduated education in animal and veterinary sciences and in quality and safety of animal food products.
