Item Propuesta metodológica para la evaluación de riesgos y estrategias nutricionales ante la hipocalcemia en hatos lecheros en el norte del Valle del Cauca: Revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025-11-24) Ospina Galeano, Laura Sofía; Gutiérrez Gómez, Juan David (Director)Hypocalcemia ("milk fever") represents a significant metabolic challenge for small and medium-sized dairy producers in the Valle del Cauca, affecting profitability due to the lack of technically grounded preventive protocols. The objective of this study was to contribute to risk identification and the selection of preventive nutritional strategies through the integrated application of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). A dual methodological approach was adopted, collecting primary data through a survey administered to 12 producers and veterinary professionals in the region. The FMEA results indicated that while the occurrence of clinical cases is moderate (most report 1-2 cases/year), the main risk lies in the difficulty of detection (average rating of 2.75/5), as 58% of diagnoses are based solely on clinical symptoms. The AHP analysis revealed that the most important criteria for selecting a strategy are implementation cost (average 4.42/5) and efficacy (average 4.33/5). It is concluded that the FMEA-AHP methodology is an effective tool for translating farm-level perceptions into a decision-making framework that prioritizes real risks (detection) and key criteria (cost) for technology adoption.
