Valoración del nivel de bioseguridad de la granja avícola Damiancito.

Abstract

The present investigation determined the level of biosecurity in Damiancito Poultry farm, which is located in the Huambalo Parish in Pelileo Canton in Tungurahua Province. For the determination of biosecurity levels, poultry sheds were used and a survey designed by AGROCALITY on poultry biosecurity standards was used, which consisted of 48 questions Whose rating was; 0 means that it does not apply, 1 is applied, but half, 2 that applies correctly and N/A does not apply the question in that type of farm. If the farm works correctly it would reach a score of 96 points being this the 100% that is the maximum grade to reach. When applying the survey in the warehouses one and two have the lowest levels of biosecurity within the scoreboard oscillating within the range of 0-25% denying the operating permit for non-compliance with the rules and granting a deadline for the final closure of up to 3 months, with respect to sheds three and four these fall in the range of 45-59%. Therefore, the operating permit was granted with notification of non-compliance and a period of up to 6 months to comply with 60% biosafety according to resolution 0260 of AGROCALITY. Within the analysis of compliance with biosafety standards it was concluded that sheds 1 and 2 obtained more weak variables than strong, in shed 3 there was similarity between variables and in shed 4 there were fewer weak variables and similar value between strong and implemented variables. So, it recommends adapting sheds 3 and 4 that did not reach the

highest score and avoiding the closure of these places.
