Acompañamiento Técnico y Estrategias para el Fortalecimiento del Sistema de Producción Doble Propósito en la Finca Las Locuras Mías, El Banco, Magdalena.

Abstract

The objective of this project was to design a technical support plan to contribute to the sustainable development of the dual-purpose production system in the Las Locuras Mías farm, located in the low tropic of the municipality of El Banco, Magdalena. For this purpose, a methodology with a technical-participatory approach was adopted, structured in three phases: initial diagnosis, implementation of improvement practices and evaluation of results. During the diagnostic phase, tools such as a direct observation format, semi-structured interviews with the producer and a SWOT analysis were used to identify the current conditions of the production system in terms of nutrition, health, reproduction, management and marketing. Based on these findings, strategies were designed and implemented to improve feeding, sanitary control and the application of good livestock practices, as well as the creation of a milk processing enterprise under the brand Natural Lácteos: del campo a tu mesa (Natural Dairy: from the field to your table).The results showed improvements in the organization of the system, in the technical management of the farm and increased income through the marketing of dairy by-products such as cheese, yogurt and whey. It is concluded that technical support adapted to the conditions of the farm and the use of local resources are essential to strengthen the productive, economic and social sustainability of dual-purpose systems.
