Apoyo técnico del manejo productivo en primera semana del pollo de engorde en la empresa Distraves S.A.S.

Abstract

Distraves S.A.S, located in the department of Santander is dedicated to the production of broiler chicken in full cycle, with several farms in the municipality of Mesa de los Santos, where as a trained zootechnic I develop my business practice in the implementation of productive management strategies focused on optimizing the performance and quality of broilers, performing specific activities such as: Comprehensive diagnosis of farms, implementation of good health management practices and constant monitoring of animal health and welfare. With the diagnosis carried out, facilities, management, sanitary plans and productive indicators were evaluated to identify areas of improvement, together with the assessment of environmental conditions, water quality and food, and the health of chicks to detect and prevent problems. In this way the results obtained during the working time were highly satisfactory, evidencing a significant improvement in the poultry production of the company in important aspects: reduction in the mortality rate, increase in consumption during the first week which is recorded in the weight of the animals at the end of the same, thus reaching the desired weight. I highlight the invaluable experience that allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills in handling broiler chickens.
