Determinar las normas de bioseguridad a implementarse en granja de aves reproductoras localizada en zona de alta incidencia de enfermedades.

Abstract

The growth of poultry production during the last three decades in Ecuador has been very important, so that at present there are around 1800 poultry farms distributed in the Ecuadorian territory, the same one that uses around 50 thousand direct jobs and 200 thousand indirectly. This increase is due to the great demand for cheap protein such as meat and eggs for human consumption as well as population growth. In the same way that the poultry population has grown, the presence and dissemination of diseases among poultry farms has increased, the same that have different origins such as: viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites causing a decrease in production and consequently the low profitability for poultry farmers. These inconveniences are caused many times by ignorance, or by not complying with the basic biosafety standards established by the competent authority, this implies a strict control of the movement of people, animals, equipment, vehicles, materials, to and from the farms without proper cleaning and disinfection. In addition to the lack of control of hygiene, cleaning and disinfection of the sheds, drinking troughs, feeders, internal equipment, including permanent vaccination plans, deworming, deratization, to avoid the presence and spread of diseases, this biosecurity plan must be established following the regulations in force in the country with the supervision of a Veterinary Zootechnician specialized in the area.In this research work, emphasis is placed on everything related to the biosecurity standards implemented in the gravels of breeding birds.
