QUEVEDO QUISPE, Ariel Winston. IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS OF BROILER CHICKENS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CHUQUISACA. Rev. Cien. Tec. In. [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.23, pp.180-194. ISSN 2225-8787.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a great impact on all areas of human endeavor worldwide. In an effort to stop the virus spreading, many countries imposed certain restrictive measures which caused the decline in commercial, industrial and agro- productive activity. In the case of Bolivia, poultry is one of the most affected sectors, particularly the broiler chicken production, which represented a greater frequent activity due to its profitability and ease of production in the Department of Chuquisaca. Therefore, the objective of this article was to carry out a descriptive analysis about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on broiler chicken production systems in the Department of Chuquisaca. This analysis makes the study conclude with some recommendations in terms of resuming its productivity despite the current conditions that we are going through due to the pandemic, based on the adoption of biosafety measures, as well as, the collaboration of public and private entities through the contribution of economic and technological resources allocated to taking up this significant productive activity.

Keywords : Broiler chicken; production; COVID-19; Chuquisaca; Bolivia.
