Abstract

The purpose of the research was framed in describing the relevant characteristics of the association in the guinea pig breeders and marketers located in the rural communities of Andarapa, Cupisa, Chichucancha, province of Andahuaylas, Apurímac region. The research is located in the mixed approach, basic research type, case study design, at ex post facto level (Non-Experimental). The population included three breeder and marketer associations located in each rural community, the sample was 45 members, equitably drawn, 15 members from each association, chosen at random, with a non-probabilistic treatment.

       The evaluation applied, on a scale of 1 to 72 points, representing the qualitative attributes of the variables and indicators measured, the highest value recorded was an average of 45 points, by the Chuchicancha association. The results show that: theAndarapa association is dominated by the qualification of “low incidence”, because it does not reach the 43 point range. The Cupisa association has a scattered label, but the label “low incidence” predominates, as does the Andarapa association. The Chuchicancha association is the one that shows the best results, the qualifier “moderate incidence” predominates because it exceeds the range of 43 points, without this meaning that it can be classified as an ideal association.
