The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of sustainable guinea pig farming under intensive rearing conditions, using a balanced diet composed of green forage (Erythrina edulis) and concentrate, with the goal of minimizing production costs without compromising food security or environmental balance. The study was conducted with 80 newly weaned Peruvian guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) at 15 days of age, with an average weight of 365.75 g, consisting of 50% females and 50% males, evaluated until 75 days of age. The animals were distributed in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments: the first corresponding to 60% green forage and 40% concentrate, the second with 50% green forage and 50% concentrate, the third with 40% green forage and 40% concentrate, and the fourth treatment with 30% green forage and 70% concentrate. Additionally, there were 4 repetitions, each with 5 animals per experimental unit. The results of the variables were evaluated through regression analysis of variance. Findings showed that both during the growth and fattening phases, there was no statistically significant (NS) influence of MS levels on weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion (p > 0.05); in other words, no significant differences were observed between higher or lower use of Erythrina edulis as forage. However, at the 40% and 50% levels, the highest economic benefit (S/ 2.76 and S/ 2.55, respectively) and profitability (10.48% and 9.66%, respectively) were observed compared to the 30% and 60% levels in guinea pig farming fed with Erythrina edulis as forage
