Working together in the fields is the path to healthy livestock and orderly operations, stated Toño Ochoa at the opening of the Workshop on Livestock Movement and Traceability, aimed at producers, as well as civil and ejido authorities.
Toño pointed out that 70% of Durango’s territory is rural, reflecting the importance of agriculture and livestock as the foundation of the community and the local economy.
The workshop’s objective is to strengthen knowledge and compliance with the Durango State Livestock Law, a set of socially relevant provisions that establish the basis for promoting and regulating the activity, explained Severo Palomares Castañeda, Director of Rural Development. This law promotes the sector’s development, encourages livestock traceability, and regulates its movement within and outside the state.
During the training, the importance of complying with current regulations was emphasized, which require the registration and tracking of livestock as a key tool for sanitary control and the orderly movement of animals.
It was also reported that compliance with these guidelines is an essential requirement for producers to access support programs and subsidies.
Palomares Castañeda added the importance of training civil and ejido authorities to properly maintain records of livestock being traded, allowing them to trace the livestock’s origin and destination to the final consumer.
“In the countryside, we’re all working together for healthy livestock and orderly movement,” said Toño Ochoa.
