Guasave, Sinaloa, (for the halls)
With strategic vision and commitment to rural development, Guasave became the first municipality of Sinaloa to specify the 2025 municipal livestock census, an initiative that aims to order and strengthen the aforementioned sector. For 87 days, from January 10 to March 17, the eleven union and police stations of the municipality were toured, generating a complete radiography of the livestock herd and marking a precedent in the rural management of the state.
This effort, led by the municipal president Cecilia Ramírez Montoya, responds to the need to have precise and reliable information that allows more efficient strategic planning, an effective health control and continuous improvement in livestock production processes.
“The census constitutes a solid base that provides information about producers and their needs, in which the resources of the programs of the livestock sector must be oriented so that the supports reach those who really need it. I am sure that we are the first to fulfill this commitment. But we are more interested in being the first to solve the problems that affect the livestock sector,” said the mayor.
The initiative is part of the state program “Count your cattle and you will know why”, promoted by the Sinaloa government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, and represents a significant advance towards the modernization of Guasave.
The Deputy Director of Livestock of Guasave, Sysly Astorga Leal, when presenting the report explained that the registration will function in four fundamental axes: official identification, traceability, health management and production control. In addition, he emphasized that this work will be given continuity by constant updating, to achieve zoosanitary status in Guasave.
The Undersecretary of Livestock of Sinaloa, Alfredo Valdés Zazueta, recognized Guasave’s commitment and his organization capacity, stressing that these types of actions allow us to move towards the recovery of zoosanitary status, so necessary for exports. In that same sense, Alfredo Sáenz Aispuro, president of the Regional Livestock Union of Sinaloa, stressed that these types of tools strengthen the producer’s autonomy and place the municipality as a reference in efficiency and vision of the future.
During his participation, Roel García Heredia, head of Fitozoosanity of the State, called to continue building on this basis, and capitalize on health advances to access better commercial opportunities at national and international level.
In the closing, Cecilia Ramírez Montoya, reaffirmed her commitment to the field and with whom they integrate one of the most important sectors of the local economy. He acknowledged that this achievement is the result of the joint work between producers, authorities and livestock associations.
