Evaluación del plan de administración ambiental para la Granja Avícola Dos Hermanos

Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to evaluate an Environmental Administration Plan for “Dos Hermanos” Poultry Farm located in Chimborazo Province, Chambo County. Since it is an environmental impact and pollution diagnose study, it does not consider nor treatments or repetitions and is not under an experimental design; but it has to do with the analysis of sewage compound samples taken from the poultry farm facilities each 15 days to be sent to the laboratory. The results reflect improvement under environmental conditions both, in the farm and the surrounding environment, since the negative impacts were controlled in a high percentage. In the checklists, the most significant environmental problems were the solid waste treatments which determined that 52.08% of the activities do not accomplish the parameters. The critical points were identified and mitigated in the previous work, however there are certain aspects especially in the warehouses area, both in eggs and in balanced food, but despite of having companies in charge of controlling vectors it is not possible to eradicate such aspects totally. The average general analysis of the impacts registers a value of -0.3 points of -3 possible (for negative nature impacts). Therefore, it is recommended to verify that the waste containers are closed, cleaned and ordered to place the waste from the processing plant in assigned containers.

Key words: ENVIRONMENTAL ADMINISTRATION - POULTRY FARM - PROCESSING PLANT.
