This study aims to analyze the determinants of cheese production, focusing on Huaytará, Huancavelica. The research, carried out with 31 milk producers during rainy and dry seasons, revealed that 80.6% of the producers are married, suggesting the influence of family stability. In addition, 67.7% are women, indicating their significant participation in the cheese activity. With 41.9% having secondary education, the need to improve technical capacity is highlighted. Although the majority own their own home (96.8%), the low minimum income (S/. 950) raises economic concerns. The average age of 46.42 years indicates considerable experience in the industry. Milk production focuses on cows and goats (45.2%), but only 12.9% are engaged in cheese production. Pasture-based feeding affects milk composition, and 61.3% of producers milk fewer than 10 cows, reflecting low productivity. Cheese producti...

El trabajo de investigación tuvo como propósito: desarrollar una prueba de diagnóstico temprano para quiste hidatídico en alpacas mediante la técnica de Enzyme Linked Inmunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Se utilizaron los métodos de electroforesis vertical, métodos serológicos de inmunodifusión de gel y la técnica de ELISA como prueba de diagnóstico. Para este proceso se accedieron a 8 muestras de quiste hidatídico de alpaca, seguidamente se determinó viabilidad de los quistes, observando al microscopio los protoescolisis y ganchos del Echinococcus granulosus. Luego se continuo con la caracterización de proteínas antigénicas, reconociendo al antígeno Ag5 (subunidades 67.72 y 55.44 KDa) y el antígeno AgB (subunidades 24.57, 16.79 y 12.10 KDa).  Para determinar los anticuerpos policlonales anti quiste hidatídico, se inocularon antígenos de alpaca en 2 conejos y la verifica...
