Career opportunities

I’m Amine,23 years old and I’m from Morocco.

After my engineering degree in livestock production in my mother country,I chose Gloqual Master to discover the EU Livestock systems and to live my dream career at the international level.

Being a student of Gloqual contributed to strengthening my knowledge in animal production by discovering new livestock systems as well as the European Agricultural Policy. Furthermore, the multicriteria approach, sustainability and one health dimension which were excellently implemented in this master, matured my vision of livestock and agriculture. Thanks to this experience, I developed an interest in sustainability in agriculture. And believing that innovation is the solution for a sustainable world, I chose to integrate a specialized master in agribusiness innovation Management.

I am Laurine MESSAGER, an engineer at ITAVI in charge of animal welfare in Brittany. I use ethology (study of animal behavior) to improve the living/transport/slaughter conditions of farm animals (poultry, rabbits and fish).

The Gloqual Master’s degree had a systemic vision of animal husbandry with a focus on societal expectations (animal welfare/sustainability of systems) which interested me. The courses were given in English, which was a real bonus for my language skills. The co-accreditation of the Master also opened the doors for the end-of-study internship that I wanted to carry out within the CARAIBE research team (in this case, on the social behavior of dairy cows).

The diversity of the courses, the case studies and analyses (all types of sectors, at all levels) but also the project management throughout the year was rich and allows us today to adapt to each situation.

I studied 3 years in VeAgro Sup and joined the Master Gloqual for the last year. Then, I worked one year on Swedish farms to get a more practical experience. Now I am doing a PhD on genetic parameters of feed digestibility on dairy cows, in the Netherlands (Wageningen University & Research).

I wanted to study livestock but with a broad vision of the sector, so I was very curious about the multicriteria approach of the Master Gloqual. I find important to not focus only on technical and economic parameters, especially because societal concerns (animal welfare, product quality, environmental impact) are more and more important and cannot be ignored. Moreover, I already wanted to go abroad after my studies, so a Master’s taught in English, with international perspectives, was perfect for that.

I learned a lot from the case study where we analysed the beef system between France and Italy. First, I realized how important the role of society is and how it can affect a whole sector. Society also has a big impact in research, especially in genetics. When selecting a trait, the consequences will be seen after several generations, so breeders have to think about the future challenges and societal expectations. Then, I also learned that societal concerns are different, even for neighbouring countries. The approach in France might be different in the Netherlands, on the nitrogen topic for instance. More generally, the different courses taught me to « think out of the box ».

My name is Ayoub, I am 24 and I am from Morocco. In the last few years, I studied agronomic sciences and chose to specialize in animal science. This wouldn’t have been possible without joining the institute of agronomy and veterinary in Morocco. In order to further shape my career, I chose to join the Gloqual master program offered by VetAgro Sup.

I choose to join the Gloqual Master for many reasons. The most important one is to deal with various challenges that surround animal production and livestock systems. In fact, the master program allows students to understand many topics related to livestock systems such as animal welfare, environment, animal health, risk analysis, feed and livestock market and other technical courses. These multi-criteria approaches, as well as different field trips, allow students to be closer to the world of animal production and make all livestock challenges easy to comprehend

I am Rahul, originally from Bangladesh, graduated in veterinary medicine and currently working in a Swiss company named Nuproxa as an animal nutrition engineer (R&D).

Following my studies in veterinary medicine and a master’s degree in animal production, I was interested to learn more about the challenges of livestock farming on a European and global scale as well as how to evaluate the overall quality or sustainability of livestock production systems.

Currently, I am working in the animal nutrition sector and my job is to conduct research on plant-based feed additives instead of synthetic product for sustainable animal production. After having completed the Master Gloqual, I am capable of performing multi-criteria analyses to assess the overall impact of a product in terms of zootechnical performance, environmental quality, social (animal welfare) and economic aspect.
