Abstract

The objective of the research was to determine the effects that influence the dairy economy, in order to establish the level of economic resilience in the Alluriquín Parish. In this context, a social diagnosis of the problems of the dairy sector was made, the degree of economic resilience of the parish was evaluated and the effect of milk production on economic resilience was also determined. The main results indicate that in the Alluriquín parish, the pasture area for milk production is approximately 2846 hectares, with a total of 792 head of cattle and an estimated daily milk production of 3000 liters. In the improvements made, the highest percentage was 57% corresponding to road improvement. In addition, there is an increase of 15.6% in current monthly income compared to the income received in 2016. This research proposes a design of strategies that promote quality of milk production, among these strategies is contributing to the sustainable management of the livestock area in the Alluriquín Parish, through the establishment of improved pastures and windbreaks, implementing grassland plots with adequate forage mixtures, which guarantees the availability of balanced feeds for a better nutrition of cattle and the increase of dairy production, establishing windbreaks around the plots to contribute to soil conservation and the generation of microclimates for the proper development of pastures and using water optimization systems that allow a more efficient use of the resource.
