Implementación de buenas prácticas ganaderas en la finca Filadelfia del municipio del Zulia, Norte De Santander.

Abstract

The business practice "IMPLEMENTATION OF GOOD FARMING PRACTICES IN THE FILADELFIA FARM IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ZULIA, NORTH OF SANTANDER" was developed in the Filadelfia farm located in the village of Pedregales in the municipality of El Zulia, department of Norte de Santander, The purpose of this study was to determine the level of compliance with Good Farming Practices (GFP), which was carried out by means of a checklist adapted from the one suggested by the ICA (Colombian Agricultural Institute) to grant GFP certification, This checklist contains 8 fundamental aspects (animal health, identification, biosecurity, good practice requirements for the use of veterinary drugs, good practice requirements for animal feeding, sanitation requirements, animal welfare requirements, and personnel requirements), which contains 51 guidelines to be evaluated, where it was observed that the farm does not comply 100% with the aspects suggested by the ICA to obtain future GMP certification. By identifying the shortcomings present on the farm, we sought to make improvements such as implementing records of the different activities on the farm, a cleaning day in the warehouses, marking the areas (paddocks, quarantine, infirmary, warehouses, etc.), training personnel and carrying out basic protocols for the farm. With this, the producer is made aware of the environmental, economic and social importance, in order to achieve a better production system through the GMP so that the livestock farm produces a quality product, satisfying the demands of local markets.
