Conceptualization of the dynamics and synergistic partnership between the agri-food production chain and public health veterinarians
(San José, Costa Rica, 2015-06-01) Cartín Rojas, Andrés
The agricultural value chain concept refers to the interaction between multiple manufacturing stages involved in the production process of a specific nourishment. The earned value of the final product is generated due to the operational or transactional costs through agro-food linear diagram and there is a livestock commodities dynamics pattern to meet expectations of consumers.1 This productive scheme takes and enforces many of the principles of quality management and incorporates them into the livestock production system. Accordingly, this approach aimed to guarantee the suitability of the final product is classified in primary chains involving the initial stages of production from breeding, nursing, weaning and growth of animals in livestock farms to the slaughter process. Secondary chains include all the subsequent stages of the primary chain, where the animal by-product is transformed, pitted, chopped, processed, stored, transported and retailed to the final consumer.
