Elaboración de un Manual de Buenas Prácticas Sanitarias en bovinos de doble propósito en la granja experimental Shitig

Abstract

It makes the diagnosis of the situation at Experimental livestock Farm “Shitig” of GAD located in Napo Province. The results obtained of the surveys show that this production system is extensive that includes 15 animals for breeding stock, but the production system presents weaknesses throughout the production chain; besides the livestock farm does not have adequate infrastructure and grasslands, so that the nutritional problem is evident and taking into account the reproduction of cattle is natural. Although the herd of cattle is small and there is an old sanitary control in which applies vaccinations against foot-and mouth disease through occasional deworming that are applied with no previous coproparasitary examination. On the other hand, serological tests for the determination of other pathologies are no performed. This is one of the reasons why the animals have a high epidemiological risk that is evidenced by the analysis carried out which indicates: the 27% of positive Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), 20% for Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD), 7% for Neosporosis (Neospora Caninum) and 20% for Bovine Leukosis. In respect of the result of coproparasitarios test, reported that 27% of animals suffer from infestation by protozoan (Eimeria sp.). Then the problems related to administrative management are evident because of the productive and reproductive records are not used and technical assistance is inefficient. The with the mentioned background appears the need to implement the Health Manual urgently, adjusting the requirements of the livestock farm according to the diagnosis made.
