Análise da aplicação de boas praticas ambientais na suínocultura

Abstract

Brazil is one of the largest producers and consumers of pork in the world. The objective of this work is to analyze the application of good environmental practices in the management of animals in an intensive pig farm in the northern region of Mato Grosso do Sul. This activity provides a large amount of residual biomass which, when treated improperly, potential source of pollution to the environment. The management of these wastes generated by swine farming should be seen as an integral part of the process of confinement of animals, as well as the concern with animal welfare, considering that there are several regulations and practices to be obeyed, and the present article analyzes about how these correct practices influence the final result of this activity, which is the obtaining of the animal protein. The methodological procedure used was done through an applied research, with exploratory objectives, that seeks to familiarize the problem through interviews and bibliographical surveys, in a qualitative way, with procedures of a case study, demonstrating the situation of the problem and the actions taken in the property. It is worth mentioning that the search for clean and renewable sources appears as an alternative to revert, control and mitigate the problems caused by swine farming, highlighting in this sense the use of biomass to generate biogas, biofertilizers and the correct use of water in the activities. As a result, management-facilitating projects link to the role of the production engineer, where the suggestion for use of follow-up worksheets, system installation with solar panels for energy generation, biogas stock for private use, can be considered as more profitable and sustainable in a productive system that provides food in the daily life of a large part of the world population.
