Propuesta para establecer una explotación semi-intensiva con ovinos de alta estirpe genética en la parroquia Chiquintad

Abstract

The proposal contemplated the diagnosis of the existing sheep farming systems in the Chiquintad parish, located in the province of Azuay - Ecuador. For this purpose, a survey was designed and applied to the livestock producers of the sector in order to establish the baseline for the formulation of the proposal: to establish a semi-intensive production unit of sheep of high genetic lineage. The main existing systems in the sector are extensive and backyard systems. In addition, a market study was conducted to determine the niche in which the products of this project can be positioned, such as breeding animals, surplus organic fertilizer and the position of meat from lambs and lambs discarded at the foot of the flock. The technical component of the project was formulated, and its engineering suggests the implementation and adequate management of a semi-intensive system of Pelibuey sheep. The financial analysis was carried out with a 10-year projection, where the initial investment is $ 14,559.03, a total production cost of $ 163,834.80, estimated profit at the tenth year of $ 24,175.27, which annually would represent $ 2,417.52 net profit for the producer, a break-even point of $ 3,779.00 per month and a cost-benefit of 1.12. Finally, the feasibility of the project is evaluated in economic, technical, legal and environmental terms.
