Elaboración de un manual para el uso del cercado eléctrico en la ganadería bovina.

Abstract

The cattle ranchers in La Belleza parish, do not have a practical demonstrative manual for the implementation of an electric fence, causing inconveniences when replacing the conventional spiky fence that is inefficient and counterproductive at present, reason why they have coupled their electric fences in an empirical way, that has generated problems when using the electric fence, therefore, the objective of this research was to develop a manual for the use of electric fencing in cattle ranching. The methodology implemented had a qualitative and quantitative approach, an inductive, descriptive, non-parametric, cross-sectional design was used, since no variables were manipulated and it was developed in a determined period of time; the study population was finite with 3 farms involved, being fundamental the application of a bibliographic and field research to obtain the respective information through methods, techniques and instruments, among which were the interview and the observation in the farms involved. Through this methodology, it was determined that the farmers involved did not have a theoretical and practical demonstration manual, and were unaware of the generalities, implements and other aspects of electric fencing. In this context, it is concluded that a manual for the use of electric fences in cattle raising was developed, which contains the main generalities, a previous planning, a form of components installation, accompanied by guidelines for the form of use in cattle management and also has tips for monitoring and control for the maintenance of the same that will contribute to the development of the farms involved and the cattle sector.
