Diagnostico de la producción, comercialización y rentabilidad de leche en la parroquia Gusaganda, Provincia de Cotopaxi, 2010.

The research was conducted in the parroquia Guasaganda comprising 225 square kilometres in area, belonging to the canton La Maná. With a duration of 120 days. The objectives were to determine the current status of the production, marketing, profitability and economic impact of milk in the parroquia Guasaganda, province of Cotopaxi. Conduct a study of production costs and milk prices. To identify the marketing channels for milk and determine the profitability of milk production in the parroquia Guasaganda. To achieve the proposed objectives were considered 17 locations in the parroquia under study. Stratified into three categories according to the number of animals owned: group 1 (54 small producers) from 10 to 65 cattle, group 2 (53 medium sized producers) from 66 to 160 cattle, group 3 (45 large producers) 161 cattle forward. Most of them have more than 10 years dedicated to livestock and their primary motivation is revenue that this activity will generate. Large and small producers own their land, not the medium produce that accounts for 7%. The race breed most used by Guasaganda producers is the Holstein. Only 21% of large producers import their animals, the rest is adquired locally. The resture most used is Dallis. Large producers due to better income levels make playing through the system of controlled breeding and artificial insemination, while small and medium producers using the system of free rides. With respect to labour, it was determined that small farmers use family labour, the medium producer uses both family labour and hired labour and big producers use only hired labour. Referring to food it was determined that small producers feed their animals only with grass and mineral salt, while medium and large producers use, other food sources such as molasses, banana rejection, mineral salt and low rates balanced ( specifically medium producers.) All producers have basic tools in their production units. As profitability it was established that the cattle production herds of the three groups studied are profitable producers such is small, medium and large farms, with yields of 66,14%; 48,58% and 36,86% respectively.
