Importancia de la implementación y control de la bioseguridad en granjas de producción de pollos de carne

Abstract

In the country there are two types of chicken meat production systems: the extensive, developed by small producers and the intensive applied by commercial companies. Being poultry production one of the livestock activities with the greatest impact within the Ecuadorian economy due to the great demand for meat and eggs, since they have as main advantages a minimum cost and a high protein level within their nutritional composition, therefore, These poultry productions are susceptible to the presence of countless pathogens, which affect the health and performance of the production by not having the proper biosecurity regulations for their control or eradication. This work will mainly deal with important points about biosecurity that must be implemented in a poultry farm in order to obtain safe and quality products for the population, it should be emphasized that an epidemiological study must be carried out prior to the construction of the farms, which they will serve to establish the vaccination plan corresponding to each productive establishment. Every protocol implements regulations that guarantee the elimination or reduction of pathogens; Through the use of sanitary filters, the control of personnel and vehicles, control of animals outside the campus, food and water quality management, proper handling of organic waste, cleaning-disinfection and uniformity of facilities. Knowing these regulations allows us to obtain a better management of production to avoid economic losses for the producer and the birds
