Opportunities for territorial development in the transisthmic corridor; baseline diagnosis in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca
The diagnosis was made in the period 2020-2021, in the municipalities of Matías Romero, Santa María Petapa and San Juan Guichicovi, Oaxaca, in the transoceanic corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the objective was to know the situation of livestock production, problems and potentialities. The universe was 215 producers, the sample of 19%. The low participation of women in this productive branch stands out, the average age is 46 years, with a level of primary and secondary schooling, speakers of the Zapotec indigenous language, low participation in organizational processes and access to public financing and private. Livestock activity takes place on average on 37 hectares, with cattle crosses between Bos taurus and Bos indicus, meat production, little use of forage conservation methods, and no use of commercial concentrates and nutritional blocks. They vaccinate against paralytic rabies or derriengue and brucellosis, among others. To control the tick, bathe regularly with a backpack sprayer and inject with Ivermectin. There are training needs in forage alternatives, sanitary management, preparation of balanced diets, and in the application of reproduction methods. The area of intervention does not allow deciding the positive impact on production levels, which may be had by the application of a technological model, due to the very limited time in which this strategy of extension and rural development was operated, but it can be indicated that with the technical support and the transfer methods among the farmers, there was acceptance and recognition of the intervention.
