Description
The livestock training project in animal management and health for the community of Tururumba, with specific intervention in the towns of Ayango and Racete, was designed with the objective of increasing livestock productivity and improving the health conditions of the herd through strategic and locally adapted training processes. The execution was based on an initial participatory diagnosis that allowed identifying structural deficiencies in knowledge about health, nutrition, reproduction, and comprehensive livestock management. Based on these findings, an intervention proposal was structured, focused on practical training, which included technical workshops and face-to-face sessions led by veterinary and zootechnical professionals. The contents addressed key aspects such as the identification and prevention of prevalent diseases, implementation of vaccination and deworming schemes, balanced feeding techniques, reproductive management, and good animal welfare practices. The training sessions were dynamic and participatory, adapting to the customs, educational level, and accessible technical language for the producers. The project also promoted the formation of cooperation networks among livestock farmers, fostering horizontal learning through the exchange of experiences and the generation of collective commitments. The creation of organized working groups was encouraged, where producers supported each other to apply in the field what they had learned, thus strengthening the social fabric and the sustainability of the project's results in the medium and long term. As an expected result, the project installed technical capacities in the communities of Ayango and Racete, consolidating a solid foundation for responsible livestock management. It is expected that this intervention will significantly contribute to the reduction of diseases, increase in livestock production, and improvements in income and quality of life for the involved families, positioning local livestock as a strategic productive axis for community development in Tururumba.
