Analysis of organic substrates generated in the Aquaculture and Agroindustrial Center of Gaira

Abstract

Solid waste is a worldwide concern, inevitably generated by the activities of humans and
animals; Being a problem related to the final disposal of waste, it is the fact that the same,
when discarded incorrectly, generate negative impacts on the environment that affect
human health and in the case of animal waste, they require human actions to its correct final
disposition. Considering that the Gaira Aquaculture and Agroindustrial Center has different
production units of larger and smaller species that constantly generate organic waste in
the paddocks and it is unknown if any treatment is carried out or what its final disposal is,
it is intended to reach the units and know the generation of waste and the possible uses
that are given to it. For this, observation tours were carried out, interviews with those in
charge, entrances and exits in the different units were outlined. From what was found, there
is a greater impact on livestock units, sheep - goats, pigs and oxidation ponds, because the
animals excrete daily and despite the efforts for collection and treatment there is a wasted
percentage. Initially, a bibliographic search was carried out to serve as support to identify what
type of provision should be given, as well as the characteristics that they possess, additional
tours were carried out reviewing the traceability of each of the farmyard animals to determine
the adequate control that it would be giving to the excreta, seeking in this way to complement
the management of organic waste for its use and potentiate the value chain, since it was found
that only 50% of these are used for the management of other units such as composting. and
the other 50% goes to areas of the cupcake where they are given a respective management, concluding that within the activities carried out it is quite favorable thanks to the fact that the
management and characteristics are favorable for the implementation of other projects carried
out in the area. CAAG
