Diagnóstico in situ para la implementación de buenas prácticas veterinarias (bpv) y buenas prácticas de ordeño (bpo) en fincas ganaderas proveedoras de leche de las queseras de Cebadas

Abstract

The quality of raw milk and production efficiency in Cebadas Parish farms are compromised due to insufficient implementation of Good Veterinary Practices (GVP) and Good Milking Practices (GMP). This problem is aggravated by the significant presence of mastitis and parasitosis in the animals, contributing to the spread of diseases and affecting the quality of the final product. Therefore, the objective of this research was to diagnose in situ the application of good veterinary practices (GVP) and good milking practices (GMP) in the dairy farms supplying milk to the cheese factories in Cebadas Parish. The methodological approach covered both qualitative and quantitative aspects, an experimental design was not used since random sampling was performed, the population under study was the livestock farmers who supplied raw material to the cheese makers, descriptive statistics were used, being fundamental the application of field and laboratory research to obtain the respective information through methods, techniques and instruments, among which were the survey directed to the livestock farmers and laboratory techniques. Through this methodology, it was determined that the results revealed that none of the 87 cattle farms evaluated complied adequately with the fundamental practices of GVP and GMP, which manifested itself in the compromised health of the animals, characterized by the presence of parasitosis and mastitis. It is concluded that the cattle farms in Cebadas lack proper animal and sanitary management. In response to these findings, the rigorous implementation of GVP and GMP is imperatively proposed, projecting substantial improvements in the quality of the milk produced and thus contributing to the sustainable development of local dairies.
