Abstract

The present research was just 7.1 in the modules; 12.1 and 48 of the Irrigation System Huachi Ambato - Pelileo, for the purpose of diagnosing production cavícola users via surveys and the creation of a database, which determined that the process of breeding, feeding and reproductive management is practiced more than 10 yearsago as a family activity, feeding is done mostly for age base, the predominant line of existing guinea pigsis inti a total of 3330 units cavícolas 882 females, 152 males and 2296 cash animal sweaning 1709 which are fattening and 587 as breeding or replacement, the deworming is done by 22% of users while 78% do not; antibiotic treatment is done by 25% while 75% do notrealize, having por health status in thethree modules respondents. Marketing 99% ofuserssurveyedintended animal production cavícola marketa rea Ambato, Pelileo, Cevallos and Quero, while 1% knew indicate that delivers directly to a restaurant, because the location geographical, mobilization and a suitable place to market the guinea pigs causes familiesto lose interest in the guinea pig production on a larger scale so that this activity becomes a hobby and sometimes do notsee a profitable job. Adding to this the lack of association of users. As for profitability through the case study allowed us to establish that the 7.1 module is 0.85 cents, whilethe module is 12.1 cents and 0.73 in the module 48 is 0.46 cents per animal feet, realizing that their profitability would increase if they sell breeding stock. Due to the low income users in three modules lose interest in the production of guinea pigs and there fore will not allow a sustainable development of its economy devoted too their activities.
