Diseño de un proyecto de inversión para la implementación de un sistema de producción de gallinas de postura mediante la utilización de alta genética, en una zona rural del cantón Zamora

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis focuses on the design of an organic egg production system in a rural area of ​​the Zamora canton. The main objective was to develop a model of sustainable production that optimizes local resources and minimizes environmental impact, by time that guarantees the quality and food safety of the eggs produced. The study included an exhaustive analysis of the agroecological conditions of the region, the selection of chicken breeds adapted to organic production and the implementation of practices sustainable agriculture. Appropriate infrastructures were designed for raising chickens in freedom and management protocols were established that respect animal welfare and They promote biodiversity. The results of the project demonstrated that it is possible to establish a production system of profitable and efficient organic eggs in the rural area of ​​Zamora. Furthermore, it identified additional benefits, such as improving soil fertility and reducing of the use of agrochemicals. The proposed model can be replicated in other regions with similar characteristics, thus contributing to sustainable rural development and the strengthening of organic agriculture in Ecuador.
