Desarrollo e implementación de buenas prácticas avícolas (BPA) en la granja La Unión, cantón Cumandá, provincia de Chimborazo.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop and implement Good Poultry Practices (GPP) in La Union Farm, Cumanda Canton, Chimborazo Province, the experimental work carried out began with the socialization of the subject and the inspection in situ, where through the application of a Check List. It was possible to evaluate 8 variables corresponding to each chapter of the guide of Good Poultry Practices of Agrocality, with which the percentage of compliance before the application of the GAP and the percentage of compliance after the application of the GPA were obtained. To see whether or not there were significant improvements after the application of GPA, all data obtained by the Ji-squared test were analyzed for each variable studied. Initially, a general default rate of 187.5 % was found because there were 10 major non-conformities (MNC) and each of these subtracted 25 % from the maximum rating achieved. It proceeded to the elaboration of standard operating processes (SOP), registers and accompanying documents that cover all the areas of production and support, direct the daily activities according to the requirements of the guide of Agrocality GPA. In the final evaluation, 97.8 % of general compliance was obtained, so highly significant improvements were achieved (P<0.01). It was concluded that the application of GPA achieved significant improvements in most of the variables, so it was possible to obtain the certificate of compliance with Good Agricultural Practices. It is recommended to work on the variables that presented less compliance, so that the farm is always in conditions to face an audit.
