Physical and health evaluation of poultry farms from Campo Verde City, Mato Grosso, Brazil

Abstract

The municipality of Campo Verde - MT pioneered the poultry industry in Mato Grosso, which currently accounts for much of the country's poultry exports . In Brazil, the control of exports of chicken meat occur mainly through biosecurity measures in production. Thus, this study aims to present an overview of the commercial cutting poultry establishments in the integrated system of the municipality of Campo Verde, Mato Grosso, from surveys conducted by INDEA / Mato Grosso. The census was comprised of 114 commercial poultry establishments and three commercial laying farms. It was observed that despite the implementation of biosecurity measures required in the Normative Instruction, the majority of poultry farms do not accomplish their protocols, and these must be adjusted. With regard to the questions of biosecurity, most of the properties were compliant, however, the non-compliant establishments should conform until 2012. We conclude that commercial poultry establishments in the integrated system of the municipality of Campo Verde, Mato Grosso seek a greater efficiency of the system through the implementation of biosecurity measures, however, they need some adjustments due to the new regulatory instructions that are ever more demanding , especially regarding the protocols of biosecurity measures.
