Implementación de un plan de manejo sanitario para la granja porcina Sebastián.

Abstract

In pig farming, good pig breeding is synonymous with good management practices; however, for efficient development, it is important to maintain an adequate sanitary level. The Sebastian pig farm does not have an adequate sanitary management plan, which has caused economic and production losses. Therefore, the objective of this work was to develop a sanitary management plan for the Sebastian pig farm located in the province of Orellana. The methodology was based on a descriptive and exploratory research through a survey matrix interview that was applied to the owner, raising a situational diagnosis in order to know the general state of the farm, and detect the shortcomings of the establishment. The survey matrix considered all the topics related to the subject, being in this case: sanitary management of the facility: cleaning, disinfection of housing, manual cleaning, footbaths, limitations of dirty and clean areas, technical management of the piglet (piglet drying, weighing, cutting of the cord, fang removal, dehorning, iron supply, castration, identification, ear tagging), vaccinations (Mycoplasma, Leptospira spp, Parvovirus, Classical Swine Fever, Erysipelas) and deworming. Once the methodology was applied, it was observed that the establishment has severe management deficiencies that could be affecting the sanitary part of the farm, negatively affecting yields and economic benefits. In context, it is concluded that based on the evidence, a sanitary management plan is proposed, which will help in the future in swine production, in order to improve the sanitary management of the farm, guaranteeing the health of the animals.
