Uso de las biotecnologías reproductivas en ganaderías bovinas doble propósito en pequeños y medianos productores de cuatro municipios en el Departamento del Putumayo.

Abstract

The University of Pamplona and the Governorate of Putumayo have launched the research project named "Sustainable Putumayo Livestock" which aims to evaluate the use of reproductive biotechnologies and implement silvopastoral systems with the goal of successfully introducing a genetic improvement program in cattle for dual purpose livestock, with a sustainable approach that allows implementing a model oriented to the Sustainable Development Goals in line with the current needs of the world. Within the execution of the first phase, the call for the selection of the beneficiaries was opened, once the goal was met, the livestock farms were evaluated and the necessary information was collected to establish the baseline on which the next phase is based. Taking into account the need to evaluate reproductive biotechnologies, the present work was framed, which aims to know if the small and medium-sized cattle ranchers of the municipalities of Puerto Asís, Villagarzón, Valle del Guamuéz and Orito use the aforementioned biotechnologies that are currently used in the cattle farming, which ones are used, why they are not used and how often they are used, this report is part of a research internship and will serve as a guide so that the participants in the next phase can adequately face the challenges that arise when implementing biotechnological processes. In order to obtain the information, it was necessary to go to surveys using technological tools, field visits and interviews with referents on the subject, where it was possible to conclude that artificial insemination is the most widely used biotechnology by the few farmers who implement reproductive and breeding plans. animal improvement.
