Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the design for the implementation of good swine practices (GSP) in the Santa Isabel farm of ITALIMENTOS CIA. LTDA located in the province of Azuay. A Checklist allowed to carry out a qualitative and quantitative evaluation on-site of each point of the farm according to the articles and paragraphs of the resolution 0217 of the Guide of Good Swine Practices of AGROCALIDAD. The qualitative evaluation determined if the activities were met or if there was the necessity to propose a plan of actions to correct the existing deficiencies. A quantitative evaluation was carried out with a score for each experimental measurement evaluated at the beginning and end of the experiment to measure the work on the farm. The results showed 35% compliance with regard to health, safety and labor welfare, and a score of 100% was reported for animal welfare. Equipment and services, location, infrastructure, and facilities reported 73% compliance. Hygienic and biosecurity measures 79%. It is concluded that according to current regulations, the farm complies with most of the requirements necessary for GSP certification, meeting the quality standards demanded by the company. It is recommended to carry out a training plan with the participation of all the members in charge of each area.
