RESUMEN
Se realizó una encuesta en julio de 2004 a 160 familias criadoras de cuyes en el distrito de Santa Cruz, Cajamarca, con el objetivo de caracterizar los sistemas de producción de cuyes. El 44.6% de los productores tenía más de 50 años de edad y el 42% de las esposas tenía entre 31 a 50 años. Primaria era el grado de instrucción predominante. La ocupación del jefe de familia era la agricultura (95.4%) y de la esposa era su casa (97.2%). La crianza de cuyes era conducida por el ama de casa bajo un sistema familiar o tradicional. Se encontró un promedio de 20.4 cuyes por familia, criados en un solo grupo sin distinción de clase, sexo y edad, de preferencia en la cocina (88.8%), donde permanecían sueltos (73.8%) o en pozas (21.9%). La alimentación se basó en forrajes, malezas y residuos de cocina. Las principales enfermedades reportadas fueron ectoparásitos (90.1%) y la peste (76%). El 71.2% de las familias destinaba los cuyes para autoconsumo y venta,y el 28.2% sólo para autoconsumo. El 96.2% de los encuestados no disponía de servicios de asistencia técnica, créditos, insumos, etc. El 67.5% de los criadores consideraba que mejorarían su crianza con asistencia técnica.
ABSTRACT
A survey was conducted in July 2004 to 160 families rearing Guinea pigs in the district of Santa Cruz, Cajamarca, with the aim of characterizing the production system of these animals. Men were more than 50 years of age (44.6%) and wives were mainly between 31 to 50 years old (42%). Primary school was the main grade of instruction. The main labour activity of the head of the family was agriculture (95.4%) and housekeeping for women (97.2%). Raising guinea pigs was mainly driven by the housewife under a family or traditional system. There were 20.4 guinea pigs on average per family, reared regardless of class, sex and age, preferably in the kitchen (88.8%), free (73.8%) or in pools (21.9%). Feeding was based on forages, weeds and kitchen waste. The main diseases reported were ectoparasites (90.1%) and the «plague¼ (76%). Guinea pigs were used for consumption and sale (71.2%) or only for home consumption (28.2%). Most of producers (96.2%) indicated that they do not have services such as technical assistance, credit, inputs, etc, and 67.5% considered that they would improve their productivity if technical assistance was available.
