Implementación de registros en bovinos mestizos en la Asociación 11 de Abril.

Abstract

Records have become important resources in cattle ranching, since they facilitate the management of information, however, many productions do not have as a priority their use in the organization of their activities, that is why the objective of this work was the implementation of records in crossbred cattle in the Asociación de Ganaderos 11 de Abril in the province of Orellana. The research was developed by the descriptive-investigative method in which a diagnosis was made with visits to each farm through the use of surveys directed to the 33 members; obtaining as a result that they did not register the following livestock activities; milk production, feeding, pasture management, purchase, sale and mortality of animals 100%, weight control and reproductive parameters 97%, births 94%, health records and management practices 91%, in addition 55% of the animals did not have an identification that would allow a correct traceability of the herd; once all the information was collected and tabulated, we proceeded to the design of the records. It was concluded that most of them did not keep records and the few that did, recorded their activities manually. It is recommended that members be trained in the use of computer tools and Excel spreadsheets to facilitate the use of computerized records.
