(objectives)
The course will provide knowledge regarding the analysis, evaluation and management of extensive farms of the main farmed animal species and breeds. The main extensive zootechnical systems spread in Italy and some of the main systems spread in other parts of the world will be taken into consideration. The course will allow, through the analysis of the components of each system and their interactions, to assess the overall sustainability level, with particular reference to environmental, social and economic sustainability. In discussing the planned topics, emphasis will also be given to aspects relating to animal welfare, product quality and related eco-system services.

(syllabus)
With regard to the "management of wildlife resources" component, the course includes an introduction and a definition of the concept of wildlife management applied to wildlife species and related populations. Specifically, it will deal with population parameters, wildlife and hunting planning, the main sector regulations, environmental suitability models for wildlife; generalities and methods of study, ecological models, environmental improvements (periodic, permanent, etc.), the main monitoring and counting techniques for wild populations, the systematic classification of Italian ungulates (roe deer, deer, fallow deer, chamois, ibex , mouflon, wild boar) with description of their biology, ecology and management status. The same themes will be treated for leporidae, wolves, brown bears and birds, with in-depth analyzes relating to Italian galliformes. Other topics of the course will be the interactions between wildlife, agro-forest environment (types of damage, means of prevention, etc.), elements of wildlife breeding and field exercises and laboratory for the recognition of wild species and presence indices in nature.
For the "extensive animal husbandry" component, the course will cover the following topics. Methods of analysis and evaluation of extensive livestock systems. Components of extensive livestock systems and their interactions with the environment. General classification and types of livestock systems. Behavior of grazing animals. Climate actions on grazing animals. Determination of the load of the pastures. Grazing techniques. Livestock interactions with wildlife. Health problems of grazing animals. Ecosystem services of extensive animal husbandry. Grazing in the woods. Multifunctionality of mountain animal husbandry. Quality and enhancement of typical products. Alpine dairy cattle breeding systems. Wild breeding of Maremmana cattle. and other beef breeds in the Apennine areas. Podolian cattle breeding. Extensive breeding of sheep and goats. Extensive breeding of equidae.

Introduction to the course and concept of wildlife management. Concept of species and population. Population parameters; distribution, consistency, density, structure. Population dynamics. Reproductive population parameters: fertility, fertility, annual increase. Principles of wildlife management in agricultural, forest and protected areas. Methods of study and management of wildlife resources, counts of wild populations, reintroduction, repopulation, etc. Environmental improvements (periodic, permanent, etc.). Local wildlife and hunting planning. Environmental suitability for wildlife; generalities and study methods. Elements of biology, ecology and management of some wild species: wild boar, roe deer, wolf, otter, hints on the main Italian cervids, bovids and galliformes. Interaction of wildlife in the agro-forest environment: types of damage; species, presence indices, agriculture interaction, silviculture interaction, means of prevention. Field and laboratory exercises: recognition of wild species and presence indices, capture of wild animals, counting of wild animals, breeding, etc. Elements of wildlife breeding; notes on the main cervids, suidae, lagomorphs, galliformes (meat production, reintroduction, repopulation)
