Seguimiento del proyecto de fomento porcícola en la vereda Buena Vista parte baja del municipio de Bochalema Norte de Santander.

Abstract

The present work was carried out under the modality of business practices in the municipality of Bochalema Norte de Santander, from the UMATA office of the municipal mayor's office where technical assistance is provided to small and medium-sized producers in the municipality, also developing different agricultural programs. The municipality of Bochalema is very important to the rural sector, being a source of food security for the people of the urban area, in which they benefit from different fresh products such as plantains, bananas, citrus fruits and also produces animals for fattening such as pigs and cattle and dairy products and their derivatives. Currently, through the UMATA office, a pig development project is being developed in the village of Buenavista, part of the lower part, with 15 beneficiary families, where one sow per family was given and the purpose of the project is to contribute to the food and economic security of the family; in which once the sow reaches a reproductive state, the owner through artificial insemination or natural mating impregnates her and once the sow has her first litter, provides a sow to another family so that they can benefit and continue with the project. The purpose of the business practice was to provide technical assistance to the beneficiaries of the project, which began with the recognition of each producer and was followed by an educational talk that covered topics such as: production cycle, health, nutrition, reproduction, management childbirth and litter among others.
