Global warming is a current problem which is related to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). It is well known that livestock is a crucial part in the production of these gases, mainly from enteric methane. In recent years, studies have been carried out on the quantification of these gases, mainly in the high Andean area. For this reason, the objective of this study is to estimate GHG emissions from lactating cows in the district of San Pedro de Pilas (Yauyos) during the dry and early rainy seasons. This study was developed based on the IPCC (2019) level 2 prediction equations, emissions were calculated in terms of CO2- eq. The collection of information and sampling was carried out with 7 cattle producers in each season. Surveys on their production system were applied to them and measurements were made on the animal. Likewise, samples of pasture and feces were taken which were then analyzed in the Laboratory for Nutritional Evaluation of Food (LENA) and milk samples were sent for analysis to the Milk and Meat Laboratory of the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina. To compare the emissions of methane, nitrous oxide and GHG in both seasons, the T-Student test was used for independent data. As a result, GHG emissions per cow per day of 6.45 kgCO2-eq in the dry season and 7.94 kgCO2-eq in the early rainy season were obtained. Likewise, GHG emissions per kg of milk were 2.16 kg CO2-eq and 1.89 kg CO2-eq during the dry and early rainy season, respectively. Regarding methane emissions per cow per day, values of 204.07 gCH4 and 255.06 gCH4 were obtained in the dry and early rainy season, respectively. On the other hand, N2O emissions per cow per day were 0.619 kgCO2-eq in the dry season and 0.645 kgCO2-eq in the early rainy season. Finally, it is concluded that there were differences in GHG and CH4 emissions, showing higher values for the early rainy season. However, there were no differences in N2O emissions between both seasons.
