Evaluation of health and quality of milk of the Saanen goat for feeding security in vulnerable agricultural ecosystems in Penipe, Ecuador.

Abstract

In the canton «Penipe» was evaluated the health and quality of milk of the Saanen goat introduced in the vulnerable agricultural ecosystems. Starting   with a sampling of 78 caprines for their parasitical hematology diagnosis to determine Brucellaps, a major population of female goats was found of pudgy category with high size, semi heavy, and fitness conditions between 2 or 3, meanwhile in the hematology analysis were reported values of hemoglobin (0.829g/l) and hematocritic (0.24 l/l), glucose (56.12 ± 9.31 mg/dl), calcium (8.26 mg/dl), phosphorous (8.58mg/dl) and iron (118.77 ug/dl). The analysis of the serology to detect Brucella was negative; the treatment for its control was the application of Albendazol 25% and vitamins complex B, achieving more efficiency of worming in budgy on nematode and strongyloidea, with 97.08%, followed by goats with rates of 96.37% in nematodes and Strongyloidea. The present investigation has the objective to characterize the health and quality of milk of the Saanen goats introduced in the agricultural systems in “El Guzo” and to establish strategies that allow feeding security and zootechnics for preserving this animal species.
