Acompañamiento al proceso productivo y reproductivo en el sistema bovinos de leche en la estación agraria Paysandú en Santa Elena - Antioquia.

Abstract

The dairy sector is one of the most important activities in agricultural production, not only because it provides milk, but also a wide variety of dairy products essential for nutrition. Furthermore, its production generates employment and contributes significantly to the economy. However, this sector faces various challenges that can affect milk production and quality. These problems include reproductive issues, inadequate production management, and diseases that affect both cows and calves. Cows can suffer from mastitis, lameness, and complications during birth, while calves can develop digestive and respiratory problems, affecting their growth and well-being. The project began by identifying the stages of the dairy system's production process and then implementing daily management activities. Production records were also kept, and most importantly, reproductive management was supported. The methodology includes the completion of essential daily activities, such as mechanical order, proper feeding of cows and calves, and cleaning and disinfection of facilities, including calf pens, pens, bottles, feeders, and waterers. In conclusion, the support provided at the Paysandú Agricultural Station seeks to strengthen the dairy cattle production process.
