espanolEl objetivo del estudio fue determinar el comportamiento productivo y rentabilidad de cuyes (Cavia porcellus) bajo el efecto de consumo de forrajeras tropicales (Morus alba, Erythrina poeppigiana y Tithonia diversifolia). Los tratamientos fueron T1= Balanceado ad libitum; T2= Balanceado 15 g + M. alba ad libitum; T3= Balanceado 15 g + E. poeppigiana ad libitum y T4= Balanceado 15 g + T. diversifolia ad libitum. Se aplico un diseno completo al azar con seis repeticiones, la unidad experimental estuvo conformada por dos gazapos, se utilizaron 48 cuyes machos de 30 dias de edad y un peso promedio de 363,54 g, para establecer la diferencia entre medias se aplico la prueba de Tukey (P≤0,05). Se evaluo el consumo de balanceado (CB) g, consumo de forraje (CF) g, consumo de alimento total (CAT) g, ganancia de peso (GP) g, indice de conversion alimenticia (ICA) y rendimiento a la canal (RC) %. La rentabilidad se determino a traves de la relacion beneficio-costo. El mayor CF; GP; RC y la rentabilidad mas eficiente tuvieron los tratamientos T2 y T3 (37,83 y 36,85 g MS animal-1 d-1). T1 y T2 (10,62 y 9,53 g animal-1 d-1) T2, T3 y T1 (71,93; 66,14 y 64,28%) y T2 (64,48%), respectivamente. El mayor ingreso de venta por carne producida y el mayor beneficio/costo tuvo el tratamiento T2 ($5,93 cuy-1 y 1,64 cuy-1), representando el punto de equilibrio de $ 3,44 animal-1 lo cual demuestra que es una buena alternativa para la crianza de cuyes. EnglishThe objective of the study was to determine the productive behavior and profitability of guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) under the effect of consumption of tropical forages (Morus alba, Erythrina poeppigiana and Tithonia diversifolia). The treatments were T1 = Balanced ad libitum; T2 = Balanced 15 g + M. alba ad libitum; T3 = Balanced 15 g + E. poeppigiana ad libitum and T4 = Balanced 15 g + T. diversifolia ad libitum. A complete randomized design was applied with six repetitions, the experimental unit was made of two guinea pigs, 48 male guinea pigs of 30 days of age and average weight of 363.54 g were used. To establish the difference between means, the Tukey test (P≤0.05) was applied. Balanced consumption (CB) g, forage intake (CF) g, total feed consumption (CAT) g, weight gain (GP) g, feed conversion ratio (ICA) and carcass yield (RC) % were evaluated. Profitability was determined through the benefit-cost relationship. The best CF; GP; RC and the most efficient profitability were recorded by treatments T2 and T3 (37,83 and 36,85 g MS animal-1 d-1). T1 and T2 (10,62 and 9,53 g animal-1 d-1) T2, T3 and T1 (71,93; 66,14 and 64,28%) and T2 (64,48%), respectively. The highest sales income for meat produced and the highest benefit/cost was recorded by treatment T2 ($ 5,93 cuy-1 and 1,64 cuy-1), representing the equilibrium point of $ 3,44 animal-1 it shows that is a good alternative for raising guinea pigs
