Ecuador
50X1
A. General
Eauador's capability for providing adequate animal health services or veterinary
public health requirements is seriously impaired by a lack of well-qualified technical
personnel and failure on the part of the government to provide sufficient operating
funds for disease and parasite control programs. Only a relatively few livestock
owners are in a position to finance animal health?care, and a vast majority of the
domestic animals receive neither preventive nor curative treatment. A number of
diseases and parasitic conditions in animals in Ecuador are serious public health
problems and supervision over processing and handling of livestock products is, in
most instances, below reasonably acceptable standards.
Although a considerable effort has been made to develop and expand the dairy
industry through importation of high quAlity American or European stock, disease,
infertility and unfavorable environmental factors have limited its growth to
relatively small areas of the Sierra around Quito (0-13S - 78-30W.
A major share of the small growth in veterinary services and animal health
program planning is attributable to the technical assistance of international
organizations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Pan-American
Health Organization (PAHO), and the United States Agency for International

B. ,Environmental factors
1. Topography and climate -- Ecuador's geographic location and unusual topography
create diverse problems in animal production and health. The country is divided into

three separate zonal categories so far as livestock raising is concerned. These are,
the Sierra or rugged mountain area, over 4,000 feet in elevation, extending through
the center of the country from north to south; the Litoral, or coastal, tropical
lowland; and the Oriente, much of -which is jungle or rain forest. TAile none of
these regions are generally favorable for efficient livestock production, localized
areas in each offer some circumstances conducive to raising adaptible animal types.
The mountain areas produce a cardiac syndrome known as "brisket disease" in a great
number of animals other than aucheniae (llamas, alpacas and vicunas), and the
tropical Iitoral and Oriente areas limit production? to heat tolerant and insect
resistant species, such as zebu or criollo (native) cattle.
Communicationv in all three areas, aside front the immediate vicinities of major
7/ 10/ 11/ 12/ ly
cities is difficult or lacking.
2. Socio-economic problems -- The Sierra, heavily populated by Indians, has
little available land resources for expansion of grazing and the people necessary to
develop a pastoral agriculture in the Iitoral or Oriente refuse to leave their
traditional mountain homes. Animal owners in the Sierra, aside from a few wealthy
families, are illiterate, superstitious natives who are little impressed by efforts
of the government to protect animals from diseases and parasites. Extension services
or animal health demonstration projects have not significantly drawn aside the mantle
of illiteracy, superstition, and lethargy that encompasses the great majority of
livestock raisers. As a result, this population segment is not only afflicted by a
number of diseases of animals transmissible to man, but animal productivity is
seriously curtailed.

Ecuador is currently lagging behind her neighbors, Colombia and Peru, in attempting
to provide a sound system of veterinary training and development. Resources are
svAndered in supporting a number of substandard veterinary educational institutions

Ecuador. Fresh meat, milk or fish are availAble only around the major towns, since
transport of other than dried or heat processed products is virtually impossible,
While a low level of economic development and traditional food habits influence
the rate of protein consumption, a considerable overall increase could be expected if

proposed transport and distribution facilities were developed: - --
c. Food sanitation, storage, and technology -- Adequate inspection and
sanitary handling of meat and other animal products is neglected at virtually all
levels of processing and distribution. Regular meat inspection is carried out at -
only the two major slaughterhouses in Quito and Guayaquil (2-los - 794002 and
further sanitary supervision until it reaches the consumer is neglected. The
bacteriological quality of milkreceived for pasteurization is very poor and that of.
raw milk for distribution is even worse. Lack of refrigerated transportation makes
distribution outside the immediate vicinity of processing and collection plants

impossible.
C. Diseases
2. Animal diseases
a. Prevalent animal diseases
(1) Piroplasmosis Piroplasmosis, a protozoan blood disease of cattle,
is a most serious Obstacle to livestock development programs. Introduction of
European cattle breeds into areas other than the high altitude region where tick
activity is low is at present *Yimpractical. Regular tick control in the form of
dipping cattle or reducing pasture infestation continues to be ignored. Criollo and
zebu cattle withstand the disease but fail to attain high productivity. To survive
at all, European breeds must be exposed to infection at a young age (premunition),

and if reasonable production is expected such animals require much greater protection
2/ Si 10/ 12/ 13/ .3V 36/
against ticks than do the criollo or zebu cattle.
(2) Anaplasmosis Anaplasmosis, also transmitted by ticks, is nearly as
serious among dairy cattle as piroplasmosis. Survival after infection is generally
2/5/10/12/13/35W
more common in anaplasmosis, but debility is severe and long standing.
(3) Foot-and-mouth disease -- Ecuadorian cattle are periodically affected
by foot-and-mouth disease either from reservoirs of infection within the country or
through introduction of the disease from bordering countries. Since animal inspection
and quarantine requirements are enforced only at sea entries, the country can expect
continuing outbreaks as long as the disease remains active in neighboring areas.
This disease seldom spreads in epizootic waves as it does in open range country, for
the mountains and rivers interpose natural barriers and transport of livestock either
by commercial carriers or on foot is extremely limited. Vaccination is practiced in
outbreak areas but this procedure is generally accomplished too lite to materially
alter the course of the disease. The most serious losses occur on the occasions when
the disease affects dairy animals in the Sierra.
2/ 10/ 12/ 13/ 23/ 25/ 26/
- (4) Brucellosis -- Brucellosis (B. abortus) is common anong dairy animals
and aAnajor contributing factor to a high rate of infertility. The extent of spread
to range animals is currently not known. Vaccination using Strain 19 abortus vaccine,
is increasingly popular, and the major dairy producers are interested in establishing
other control measures as well. Since the milk supplies are generally boiled there
is little chance of spreading the disease widely to the human population. However,
farm and dairy workers, as well as individuals who consume certain types of
2/12/26/
unpasteurized cheese, are frequently exposed to infection:

(5) Cysticercosis and Echinococcosis -- Although official reports indicate
moderate animal infection by these parasitic forms, observers have noted heavy rates
in slaughter animals. Only a small proportion of livestock are inspected and such
inspection is cursory at best. Consequently, the true incidence of infection is
2/ 10/ 12/ 13/
actually not known.
b. Other important animal diseases -- Other important animal diseases include
Johnels diseases, mastitis, leptospirosis, anthrax, tuberculosis, and various ecto-
parasitic infections in cattle. Hog cholera, pasteurellosis and a host of parasitic
conditions are common in swine. Sheep are affected by pasteurellosis and parasitic
conditions and suffer seriously in sparse mountain pasture areas from deficiency
conditions. The major poultry diseases are fowl pox and avian leukosis. Rabies
is a recurrent problem in some areas and domestic livestock is not infrequently

affected as a result of bites of carnivora:-
D. Veterinary medical organization and administration
1. Civilian
a. Organization -- Veterinary services in Ecuador are primarily a nationalized
function. The Directorate of livestook and Veterinary Services within the Ministry
of Development is fundamentally responsible for all the major veterinary activities
in the country. Small localized veterinary programs, utilizing national veterinarians
advised by American veterinary personnel, conduct extension and training
programs under the Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Agricultura (SCIA)
programs of the U.S. Agency for International Development. The director of Livestock
and Veterinary Services is also responsible for the major prescribed meat inspection
routines, although municipalities in a few cases employ local veterinary inspectors
for such activities. An animal inspection and quarantine branch, under the Director

of Livestock and Veterinary Services is active at sea ports of entry for livestock
and livestock products. However, comparable activity at land border points in
connection with intra-country livestock movement is seriously neglected.
A few veterinarians are engaged in private practice chiefly dealing with the
purebred imported herds of wealthy ranchers and a few are engaged in commercial
biological and pharmaceutical industry. International organizations, such as the
U.S. Agency for International Development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations and the Pan-American Health Organization provide veterinary technical
advisory services for developing specific projects of interest to the government.
A recent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease has stimulated a rash of activities,
apparently uncoordinated, by the Food and Agriculture Organization the Pan-American
Health Organization, the Agency for International Development and even the United
States Freedom from Hunger Foundation. Action ranges from providing vaccine from
sources outside Ecuador to consideration for plans for a diagnostic laboratory, and
even a combined diagnostic-vaccine production unit as well, to providing technical
assistance in field operations research and diagnosis.
For administrative purposes the Director of Livestock and Veterinary Services
divides his organization into two principal zones, one concerned with the Iitoral and
one with the Interior or Sierra. Each is administered by a sub-director, since the
two areas have distinct interests, resulting from topography, climate and character
of livestock. Both sub-directors include under their jurisdiction a Director of
Veterinary Laboratory Investigations, one located in Quito and the other in Guayaquil.
Unfortunately, v.Doun veterinary schools, all started in relatively recent years,.

their operation. This has led to a serious factionalism which obstructs coordinated
veterinary programs - an obstacle the Director of the national veterinary services
1/ 2/ 9/ 10/ 12/ 13/ 20/
cannot overcome.
b. Legal controls
(1) Licensure -- The only requisite for veterinary practice or employment
in Ecuador is graduation from one of the country's four7,: veterinary colleges or from
32/ 34/
?a foreign veterinary school recognized by the governmental veterinary authorities.
(2) Quarantine -- Control over imports of foodstuffs and livestock
influencing health of animals or possible introduction of disease from external
sources and through internal movement, is prescribed in an Emergency Decree Law
No. 19 of 1959. Incorporated in this law is the law for Animal Sanitation, which
specifies health inspection and quarantine requirements, and charges its administration
to the Director of Livestock and Animal Health in collaboration with the Institutes
10/ 12/ 1.3/ 20/
of Veterinary Investigations of the Litoral and the Sierra.
(3) Inspection -- Nominal veterinary ,inspection of slaughter and meat
processing plants exists at most meat and meat products producing centers. The
quality of inspection is low and considerable meat unfit for human consumption or
fit only for special processing finds its way to markets or consumer
1/ 8/ 9/ 10/ 12/ 13/
channels.
c. Professional veterinary organization -- At least two major veterinary
associations exist. One is located in Quito and the other in Guayaquil. Their
chief aim is, apparently, to protect what is thought to be prerogatives of
veterinarians or veterinary services in their respective areas. Platitudinous
expressions upholding professional ethics and responsibilities emanate from both,

and at that point activity ceases to exist;--

d. Emergency veterinary services -- Ecuador's veterinary services, as
currently organized and staffed, could not cope with a serious animal disease outbreak
requiring emergency action. International organizations are currently attempting to
assist Ecuador in a campaign against a recently introduced outbreak of foot-and-mouth
10/ 12/ 13/ 23/ 25/
disease.
2. Military veterinary services -- A small veterinary unit in the armed forces
12/ 31/
provides care for military animals of the remount unit.
E. Veterinary manpower -- The ratio of veterinarians to livestock in Ecuador is
very low, 1: 64,000, and the situation is further complicated by the concentration
of veterinarians in the major metropolitan areas rather than at the sites of livestock
production. Communications, including mechanized transportation, are very poor, and
even when disease conditions are reported or assistance sought by livestock owners
the probability for prompt and effective veterinary attention is remote.
Four separate faculties, all sub-standard by any criteria in faculty curricula,
facilities or equipment, exist in this country, which can scarcely justify from an
economic or requirement standpoint even one school. Each university in Ecuador is
an autonomous unit. These faculties are located at the University of Gugyaquil,
Guayaquil, Central University of Ecuador in Quito, Technical University of Manabi,
in Portoviejo (1-03S - 80-27W), and the University of Loja, Loja (4-00S - 79-13W).
1/ 2/ 12/ 13/ 32/ 34/
All four schools graduate no more than 20 students per year.
F. Veterinary facilities -- Veterinary laboratory facilities, located principally
in Quito or Gugyaquil, are generally inadequate. Space and equipment are deficient,
which interferes with sound laboratory discipline. A few small diagnostic units
have been developed in rural areas where extension type services of Servicio

Cooperativo Interamericano de Agricultura (SCIA) operate. A. few commercial biological
or pharmaceutical concerns operate small laboratories in Guayaquil and Quito. Very
little quality control over products exists, and in some, cases preparation of products
is undertaken with little regard for protection against contamination or assurance
1/ 10/IS?.._31 15/ 34/
of viability and potency.
G. Veterinary supplies and materials -- Veterinary supplies and materials are
produced locally to a limited extent, and the balance of requirements is supplied
through private biological and pharmaceutical agencies, some of which represent
several separate foreign concerns. Currently, an Agency for International Development
and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization support program is underway
to develop a foot-and-mouth disease diagnostic and vaccine production
