The objective of this research is to determine the effects on the respiratory health of workers in a poultry farm that provides private services in Ecuador. Methodologically, it was carried out under a descriptive quantitative approach. A significant association was observed between the position in the institution and the occurrence of respiratory diseases such as discomfort and nasal obstruction, showing a higher rate in the assistant poultry workers with 29%, poultry workers (16.1%), miscellaneous services (9.7%) and miller (3.2%). According to the results obtained, the low frequency of occurrence of symptoms of pulmonary and respiratory diseases, as well as other syndromes related to the respiratory system, were in agreement with the results of spirometry and chest X-rays, which showed no alterations in the poultry workers.
