Diseño y aplicación de un plan de administración ambiental para la granja avícola provipecuario

Abstract

A diagnostic about pollution and environmental impact was carried out at poultry farm Provipecuario in Chimborazo province. Experimental treatments were not considered. A completely-randomized sampling analysis was used with the results of the liquid and solid samples instead. The checking list determined that the most of industrial activities doing in the use meet with the environmental regulation of Ecuador related to the consumables storage. The chicken slaughtering process presents aspects which must be modified in order to avoid the negative impacts affecting the environment. The water analyses determined that the Oxygen Biochemical Demand (OBD) and Oxygen Chemical Demand (OCD) contents did not present meaningful differences statically before and after the analysis, whereas the total solids increased to 1,056.00 ppm. The environmental rating of enterprise, made by matrixes of Leopold modified, determined that the type and level of pollution of the poultry farm and surroundings reached a rating of 16. That means, that the environment pollution is unimportant. The poultry farm generates organic residues that can be reused to make compost and chicken manure, so that profitability can increase by producing a high nitrogen fertilizer to be sold properly under strict environmental norms
