Establecimiento de un plan de mejoramiento en el sistema de producción porcina en la finca San Pablo De La Universidad Francisco De Paula Santander.

Abstract

This business internship lasted four (4) months (16 weeks) and was carried out in the Pork Unit of estate San Pablo of the Francisco de Paula Santander University - UFPS, located in the Uregue-Blonay village of the Chinácota municipality, township of the diamond. During the first weeks of the professional practice, a detailed diagnosis was made of the infrastructure conditions of the swine unit, the animal population, sanitary management, as well as the routine control that was carried out within said production system. It was possible to observe the different hybrid genetic lines used, some deficits in nutritional (feeding), reproductive and sanitary management, for which a zootechnical improvement plan was proposed to optimize the production system, making it more efficient and profitable. Some of the indicators that could be improved were, for example: animal welfare (enforcing the five freedoms), health protocols and productive performance parameters (weight gain, feed conversion, survival, etc.) and reproductive performance (number of piglets at birth, birth weight, weaning survival, weaning weight, among others.) It can be concluded that this business practice helped me enrich my professional and personal training, especially in the area of swine production, which will be of great help for the future exercise of the profession as a Zootechnician.
