Gestión de hatos bovinos lecheros para la prevención de enfermedades zoonóticas en la parroquia Quimiag del cantón Riobamba.

Abstract

The present research sought to design a protocol of technical sanitary management for the prevention of four main zoonotic diseases (bovine tuberculosis, bovine brucellosis, bovine salmonellosis, and bovine leptospirosis). This study was taken place in two dairy herds located at the Quimiag parish of Riomamba canton. Surveys were conducted on two farm owners to obtain data on the current status of the animal health component of those farmers lands. The collected information was compared with their respective regulations and it was shown that inadequate technical health management was carried out in the farms; this could increase the risks of contagious zoonotic diseases. Subsequently, it was possible to design an applicable protocol that would solve their technical sanitary problems, emphasizing the biosecurity, the vaccination plans and the health management of infected animals.
