This thesis analyses management practices in sport equine production farms in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina to minimize their environmental effects. This type of production was chosen due to its growing importance within the sector.Buenos Aires Province was selected not only because it is the province which has more equines but also because it holds the main events of the industry, such as exhibitions and equestrian sport events. Research studies on\nenvironmental implications in equine production is scarce worldwide and\nunknown in Argentina.\n26 sport equine farms were analyzed, using a survey of 10 questions to gather\ninformation about the management on each farm. Research was focused on\nthe different ways of feeding the animals and the kind of forage horses receive,\nconsidering that one of the challenges in sport equine production is the strategy\nused for feeding horses. Farmers were asked about the disposal of manure\nand bedding residues considering the storage and disposal time. In the farms studied box beds are stored in solid state, and remain outdoors directly on the ground. Farms do not possess adequate storage facilities and they do not consider the amount or volume of material disposed or the time required before collection. A horse kept in a box will require from 5 to 10 bedding kilograms per day, which must be changed regularly. The discarded bed can increase manure volume two or three times, according to bed type used and management practices.\nThe factors causing environmental impact are linked to excretions quantity and chemical composition, which depend on the type and amount of feed consumed by the animal, bedding type and quantity, outdoor deposit (shavings bedding) storage times and climate conditions. Therefore, final bedding layout is a key\nissue for this production sustainability.\nIt has been deemed extremely important to determine the quality of water drunk by the equines in the 26 farms studied. To this end, water samples were taken and characterized through physical/chemical analysis. Equine growth,\ndevelopment and sports activities were also considered, as well as distance from the City of Buenos Aires to the farms studied. Considering trace elements levels in the air, soil and water have increased during the last decades in urban and suburban areas in different parts of the world, and in turn, they might reach groundwater through leaching processes or\nto superficial bodies of water through runoffs, As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb were measured\nin feed, water and box beds in the farms studied. Representative samples of farms in Pilar, Open Door, Exaltación de la Cruz, General Las Heras, Malvinas Argentinas, Moreno, Hurlingham, Cañuelas, Chivilcoy, Luján, SanAndrés de Giles y San Isidro were taken. These farms have between 11 and 410 equines each. The results obtained are shown in chapter 4 but they are hard to be compared due to the scarcity of studies with similar characteristics worldwide. This research study offers an overarching analysis of the environmental\nimplications and considers the inputs provided by the sport equine production to\nwater footprint, having into consideration water consumption in the context of the life cycle assessment (LCA). LCA would be the collection and evaluation of\nthe entries, results and potential environmental impacts of the product during its life cycle. It might contribute to the identification of opportunities to improve the sport equine production development, regarding environmental impact on the different stages. Processes, including the direct water use, such as, water volume consumed daily to keep their basic vital needs, and water used to clean the animals and farms, were identified. In this study, it can be observed that sport equines have a development\ndynamic in which they spend many hours in the boxes, releasing large amounts\nof defecation. Moreover, if we consider the lack of environmental regulations\nregarding the end use of bed boxes, the amount of water required for direct and\nindirect consumption, among other factors, it can be concluded that this\nproduction generates important environmental effects which should be reduced.Therefore, recommendations to minimize the environmental effects of the equine production are outlined. |

Buenos Aires, Argentina Fernández Cirelli, Alicia Vaccaro, Mariana 2024-03-21 La presente tesis, analiza las prácticas de manejo en establecimientos\ndestinados a la producción de equinos deportivos de la provincia de Buenos\nAires para minimizar los efectos ambientales de la misma. Se seleccionó a este\ntipo de producción por la importancia que tiene ya que se encuentra en amplia\nexpansión dentro del sector. Se eligió Buenos Aires, por ser la provincia que\nmás cabezas de equinos posee y ser sede de los principales eventos, tanto\nexposiciones, como concursos hípicos.\nLas investigaciones sobre las implicancias ambientales en la producción equina\nson escasas a nivel mundial, e inéditas en la República Argentina.Se analizaron 26 establecimientos, donde se realizó un relevamiento sobre el manejo en cada uno a través de una encuesta de 10 preguntas. Se investigó respecto de las formas de alimentación y el tipo de alimento, considerando que\nuno de los desafíos de la producción de equinos deportivos es la estrategia\nimplementada para la alimentación. Se preguntó además sobre la formas de\neliminación de los residuos de excretas y cama considerando el tiempo de\nalmacenamiento de los mismos y su eliminación\nEn los establecimientos estudiados, las camas de los boxes se almacenan en\nestado sólido, a la intemperie sobre el suelo directamente. Los\nestablecimientos no poseen estructuras de almacenamiento ni tienen en cuenta la cantidad ni el volumen que desechan al igual que los días que se tardaran en retirarlos.\nUn caballo mantenido en un box requerirá de 5 a 10 kg de cama por día, que\ndebe ser cambiada regularmente. La cama desechada puede aumentar el volumen de estiércol en dos o tres veces, según el tipo de cama utilizado y las\nprácticas de manejo.\nLos factores que provocan el impacto ambiental están vinculados a la cantidad\ny la composición química de las excretas, que depende del tipo y cantidad de\nalimento consumido por el animal, al tipo y cantidad de cama, al tiempo que los\ndepósitos (viruteros) permanecen almacenados en el exterior y a las\ncondiciones climáticas. Por lo que la disposición final de las camas es un tema\nclave para la sustentabilidad de esta producción.\nSe consideró sumamente importante, determinar la calidad del agua de bebida\nde los equinos de los 26 establecimientos estudiados, por ello se tomaron muestras de agua y se caracterizaron a través del análisis físico-químico y la aptitud para el crecimiento, desarrollo y actividades deportivas de los equinos como así también considerar la distancia que los establecimientos se\nencuentran de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires.\nTeniendo en cuenta que los niveles de elementos traza en el aire, los suelos y\nel agua han ido aumentando durante las últimas décadas, en áreas urbanas y\nperiurbanas de diferentes regiones del mundo y que a su vez pueden llegar al\nagua subterránea a través de procesos de lixiviación o/a cuerpos de agua\nsuperficial por láminas de escorrentías, se midió As, Cd, Cr, Ni y Pb en\nalimento, agua y la cama de los boxes de los establecimientos estudiados, se realizó un submuestreo representativo de 19 establecimientos de las localidades de: Pilar, Open Door, Exaltación de la Cruz, General Las Heras,\nMalvinas Argentinas, Moreno, Hurlingham, Cañuelas, Chivilcoy, Luján, San Andrés de Giles y San Isidro). Estos establecimientos tienen entre 11 y 410 caballos cada uno. Los resultados obtenidos se muestran en el capítulo 4 y son\ndifíciles de comparar dado que existen escasos estudios de estas\ncaracterísticas a nivel mundial. Esta investigación realiza una mirada global de las implicancias ambientales y considera los aportes realizados por la producción de equinos deportivos a la\nhuella hídrica, teniendo en cuenta los consumos de agua en el contexto del\nanálisis de ciclo de vida (ACV). El ACV sería la recopilación y la evaluación de las entradas, resultados y los impactos ambientales potenciales del producto\ndurante su ciclo de vida, puede contribuir a la identificación de oportunidades\npara mejorar el desarrollo de la producción de equinos deportivos, en cuanto al\nimpacto ambiental en las distintas etapas. Se identifican procesos, que incluyen el gasto de agua directo, como: los volúmenes de agua ingeridos diariamente\npara mantener sus necesidades vitales, y el uso de agua para la limpieza de\nlos establecimientos y aseo de los animales.\nEn este estudio se puedo observar que los equinos deportivos tienen una\ndinámica de desarrollo en la cual, los mismos pasan muchas horas en los\nboxes, eliminando abundantes deyecciones, si a esto le sumamos la falta de protocolos ambientales para el destino de las camas de los boxes, la cantidad\nde agua requerida para el consumo directo e indirecto, entre otros factores; se\npodría concluir que esta producción genera efectos ambientales relevantes que\ndeben minimizarse por ello se formulan recomendaciones para minimizar los\nefectos ambientales de la Producción Equina application/pdf Producción equina Impactos ambientales Sostenibilidad Sport equine production Environmental impacts Sustentable spa Universidad de Buenos Aires.
