A priority in the agri-food strategy for producers in the Santiago municipality of Contramaestre is the livestock program.
In order to recover this essential sector, it is necessary to work more intensely on genetics, promote the development of the so-called typical projects and increase control over the mass of those producers who have ten or more heads of cattle.
The tours and visits to farms and productive structures should become a daily activity and should not be limited to the requirement of complying with a plan; it should not be forgotten that attention to people is an essential component in obtaining higher yields.
S.O.S in Contramaestre livestock
The UBPC La Mantonia and El Tití are at the center of the livestock recovery of Contramaestre, in these structures work is being done to recover two cowsheds, while the feedlot of Bungo Tres and the improvement of the one located in Boca de Bío should receive rescue actions.
But the livestock recovery in Contramaestre requires more work in the sowing of pastures and fodder, the realization of livestock modules in each agricultural entity and an effective battle against theft and illegal slaughter.
The increase of meat and milk volumes is the purpose of these initiatives. They cannot remain in the statement and for that, those who have the responsibility to control and check must do their job and do it alongside the producers.
