Presentation

INTRODUCTION
The Graduate Program in Animal Science (PPGZ for its spelling in Portuguese) was established in 1977 at the master's and in 2000 at the doctoral level. The program has always sought to act in the different research areas involving Animal Science/Fishery Resources during its years of activity. Initially, the program's major focus was on developing basic research in animal nutrition (ruminants and non-ruminants) and animal production systems. However, soon the research lines in animal breeding and reproduction and fish farming were developed. Currently, PPGZ is directly linked to the livestock production scenario in southern Brazil.
The program's research lines are aligned with the needs and demands of the sectors linked to animal production systems. PPGZ is directly integrated with the market, seeking to adapt the profile of its graduates to work with public bodies related to teaching and research, as well as with the private sector, which today stands out in a representative absorption of graduates from the program.

GRADUATES' PROFILE
Graduates from PPGZ are trained in several areas of knowledge related to animal production. The aim is to increasingly improve students' training and critical development so that graduates can broadly meet the basic demands of the productive sector with innovative and technological development actions. Thus, graduates can work directly in the job market, meeting the specific needs and demands of the productive sector where there is room for research and process innovation. Additionally, they can perform in key and strategic areas of the program's development fields by working in agencies directly linked to research and technological development.
