Goat farming in Peru is a husbandry activity that, although it is considered secondary in the country, has a great economic and social impact on the rural population, that is why government efforts to develop is so important. The objective of this study was to characterize dairy goat rearing systems in the coastal valleys of the Lima region to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement. This cross-sectional research was conducted in four provinces located in the Lima region, Peru. A total of 62 goat farmers participated in the trial. For data collection, a standard survey was prepared with open and closed questions distributed across two components (socioeconomic and productive). The surveys were processed for qualitative variables using a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) followed by a hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) to differentiate the types of farming systems prevalent based on the survey population. The hierarchical cluster analysis resulted in the formation of three separate groups of goat farmers, which can be classified as extensive systems differentiated by management practices and their production and marketing objectives. The test showed a significant difference; therefore, it can be affirmed that they are associated with the groups or clusters formed. These results will allow actors related to goat farming, such as state and regional entities, to focus efforts on addressing specific demands of the different types of goat farmers found in this study.
秘鲁的山羊养殖是一种畜牧业活动，尽管在该国被认为是次要产业，但对农村人口具有巨大的经济和社会影响，这就是为什么政府努力发展它如此重要。本研究的目的是描述利马地区沿海山谷的奶山羊养殖系统，以确定改进的差距和机会。这项横断面研究在秘鲁利马地区的四个省进行。共有 62 名山羊养殖户参加了试验。为了收集数据，使用开放式和封闭式问题编制了一份标准调查，分为两个部分（社会经济和生产）。使用多元对应分析（MCA）对定性变量进行了处理，然后进行层次聚类分析（HCA），根据调查人群区分流行的养殖系统类型。层次聚类分析形成了三组独立的山羊养殖户，可以将其归类为通过管理实践及其生产和营销目标来区分的粗放系统。测试显示存在显著差异；因此，可以肯定的是，它们与形成的组或聚类相关。这些结果将使与山羊养殖相关的参与者，如国家和地区实体，能够集中精力满足本研究中发现的不同类型山羊养殖户的具体需求。
