Apoyo Técnico en el Manejo Productivo de Gallinas Criollas en la Empresa el Paraíso Agroecoturístico S.A.S.

Abstract

The Finca el Paraíso Agroecotourism Farm, located in Betulia, Santander, dedicated largely to the production of native eggs, is the site of the business internship program, the purpose of which was to support the various activities of the production system. To this end, an initial diagnosis was conducted through data collection and a general evaluation of the farm. Various areas were strengthened, including infrastructure, daily management, animal welfare, a health plan, and a nutritional and feeding plan that incorporated plant-based alternatives native to the area. Production records were also implemented to control and monitor the various processes of poultry production. A project was also established for 1,000 Araucanian or Mapuche laying hens, classified as "hueviazul," seeking to establish a specific production model at the regional and national levels for eggs suitable for human consumption or fertilized eggs for incubation. Finally, the importance of the professional or operator responsible for optimal operation and problem-solving was emphasized to ensure a sustainable and self-sustaining production system.
