“PIG FARM PROJECT”

SAN JACI NTO – TOMBS

 -2013-

INTRODUCTION

Food consumption habits have undergone important changes over the

years, consequently, new techniques for the production, transportation,
processing and transformation of foods of animal origin have been perfected.
Consequently, effective control of production is essential, in order to avoid the
harmful consequences that arise from diseases and damage to public health
caused by the consumption of contaminated food, also putting at risk the
economy of a sector or the country.

All producers, manufacturers, handlers and consumers of foods of animal

origin (POIG) have the responsibility of ensuring that they are suitable for
consumption. The general principles to ensure food hygiene must be applied
from primary production to the fine consumer, through the farm-to-table
concept.

The project to be developed is located in the Platero Farm, San Jacinto

District, Tumbes Province, Tumbes Department; and preliminary work will be
carried out on 3.216307 hectares, which will be used for pig farms, warehouses,
etc.
1. AIM:

Define techniques that must be considered in the procedures of Good

Livestock Production Practices for farms dedicated to the breeding,
development and/or fattening of pigs, in their production and transportation
stages, aimed at ensuring food safety and the protection of the environment
and the people who work on the farm.

2. SCOPE:

The field of application of the technical specifications presented in this

document is related to the production, transportation and slaughter of live
animals in livestock production systems.
The technical specifications have been made considering that they are
applicable to different productive realities in the country, either in relation to
climatic and geographical conditions, as well as to the size of the farm.
It should be noted that its application will be subject to the voluntariness of
the producer.

5. Services:

5.1. Water Supply

It is essential that every farm has a quantity of water according to its needs. If
the farm water is not drinkable, it is recommended to have a tank that
provides the appropriate conditions to treat the water. The deposit must be
protected.

For animal consumption on a farm, the ideal is to have a chlorinator, to

guarantee the drinkability of the water and if not, the water must be
chlorinated manually and a chlorine level in the water remains of 1 to 2
ppm. , which will be monitored once a day, using a “Kit” to measure the
concentration of chlorine in the water and recorded in a record ( See Annex
III. Chlorine Control Registry in Water ).

least:

A sketch of the facilities that identifies the place where the traps will be
placed, which must be numbered and always placed in the same place at a
recommended distance of no more than 40 meters.

The bait will be placed in them without people touching it directly with their
hands due to health risk or loss of effectiveness.

Traps for rodents with poison should not be placed inside concentrate
warehouses, silos, corrals or where there are edible products for people or
animals.

The traps will be reviewed every 15 days and if abnormal growth in the
rodent population is determined, control and eradication practices will be
increased by increasing both the traps and the frequency of monitoring.
 The baits must be rotated every 3 months, to avoid resistance to the
products.

Keep a record of rodent control practices ( See Annex IV Rodent Control

Registry ).

6.3. insects

An insect control program must be established, which must be supported by

a record sheet ( See Annex V Record for Insect Control ), where each time
a control is applied will be noted. In the event that chemical methods are
used, the products must be registered with SENASA.

It is very important, whatever the method used, to follow the manufacturer's

or supplier's instructions to achieve optimal results. When chemicals are
used, they should be changed when they have no effect.

7.1. Generalities

The farm must have a log where all visits that enter the farm will be recorded.

Any person outside the farm, who has had contact with pigs outside the
country, will not be allowed to enter within the period of 72 hours.
It is strictly prohibited for employees to have pigs in their homes and to visit
other pigpens or houses where they have them.

Each farm must have a good written vaccination program, each practice
carried out of this type will be recorded in the Registry of application of
vaccines and veterinary products ( See Annex VI ).
 7.2. Pigs Entering the Farm

When pigs are introduced from other farms, the health status of the farm of
origin and its history must be verified. These animals must be quarantined.
