The adoption of good management practices (GMP) in dairy farming implies changes that generate satisfaction for the personnel involved in the milk production process. The objective of this study was to assess the level of satisfaction obtained among GMP-certified producers. A total of 37 farm owners in northern Antioquia were surveyed. Data were analyzed using factor analysis and structural equations.
A “General satisfaction” variable was analyzed using recursive partitioning and regression trees. Producers were satisfied with the GMP certification, mostly with the changes achieved in working conditions, interrelationships and staff training. The GMP satisfy owners by generating positive changes in the working conditions of the personnel, providing permanent training, and improving their image to other farmers and milk-buying companies.
La adopción de buenas prácticas ganaderas (BPG) en producción de leche implica cambios generadores de satisfacción al personal involucrado en el proceso productivo. Con el objetivo de evidenciar la satisfacción de productores certificados, se encuestaron 37 propietarios de predios
lecheros del norte antioqueño, los datos fueron analizados mediante análisis factorial y ecuaciones estructurales. La variable “satisfacción general” se analizó mediante partición recursiva y árboles de regresión. Los productores están satisfechos con la certificación principalmente con los cambios en las condiciones laborales, las interrelaciones y la capacitación del personal. Las BPG satisfacen a los propietarios de sistemas lecheros, al generar cambios en las condiciones laborales del personal, propiciar capacitación permanente y mejorar su imagen ante productores y empresas compradoras
de leche.
