This Professional Sufficiency Work (PSW), necessary for obtaining the title of animal science engineer, focuses on explaining the development of activities related to livestock within the New Zealand Support Project for the Peruvian Dairy Sector, implemented in the Puno region between September 2016 and December 2020. The project aimed to improve the living standards of high-altitude dairy farmers by enhancing productivity per hectare through the implementation of good grazing livestock practices. Considering the practices of dairy cattle breeders in the region, poor soil management, forage, nutrition, and animal health, high mortality rates of calves and adults, low profitability, and vulnerability to climate change, the project generated a set of recommendations initially implemented for validation by 4 pilot farmers in the provinces of San Román, Azángaro, and Huancané. This monograph details how the project’s recommendations were implemented, such as the use of records, pasture management, proper use of electric fences and portable waterers, forage conservation, strategic management of replacement animals, farm planning, among others, and how these changes showed significant improvements in productive, reproductive, sanitary, economic, and environmental indicators on the 4 pilot farmers' farms. The number of farmers implementing the project's recommendations increases each year. Currently, there are over 1200 farmers in Puno who are implementing at least three of the recommendations, evidence of the positive impact and scalability of the introduced practices.
