Elaboración de un manual de bioseguridad para la granja porcina Sebastián.

Abstract

The Sebastian pig farm does not have a biosafety manual to help prevent and control the presence of infectious agents, causing the producer 8 to 10 percent mortality in neonates; therefore, the objective of this study was to elaborate a biosafety manual for the Sebastian swine farm. In this research, no experimental measurements were applied because it was a descriptive and exploratory research. First, a baseline was prepared with all the essential variables in accordance with the regulations maintained by Agrocalidad, and relevant information was gathered regarding the current situation of the farm. Subsequently, an interview survey was carried out, which was applied to the pig farm producer to detect the shortcomings of his establishment. According to the initial diagnosis, several threats and weaknesses were identified, thus finding the Sebastián pig farm in an average biosecurity status. This is due to the fact that this farm does not comply with all the established regulations that a pig farm must have in order to keep the pigs in good condition and be economically profitable. Finally, it is concluded that this biosecurity manual for the Sebastián pig farm will allow the producer to greatly improve his farm, hoping to obtain excellent results.
