Estrategias para implementar las buenas prácticas de bioseguridad en granjas de producción de aves de postura

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze a biosecurity system of a poultry production farm for laying hens, by means of documentary information and direct observation. In order to control the entry of pathogenic agents that produce diseases in poultry farms for the production of laying hens, affecting the good health status of the birds, obtaining eggs of excellent quality that guarantee the food safety of the population. The research was carried out by means of documentary analysis of the biosecurity norms established by the Agency of Regulation and Phytosanitary and Sanitary Control (AGROCALIDAD); as well as direct observation of several poultry farms selected in the province of El Oro. It was found that among the main biosecurity norms that are not complied with in poultry farms are: the use of sanitary showers, rodaluvios, pediluvios, sanitary arch, fumigation, washing and disinfection of vehicles and change of personal clothing, which when properly developed allow to favorably control the entry of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms. It is concluded that the biosecurity norms in poultry posture farms are not properly established. In addition, it was found that poultry farms do not maintain adequate cleanliness in the different areas around them, which can cause the development of diseases, and waste materials are found in the different areas of the farm, which generate contamination on the farm and have a negative impact on the environment.
