The objective of this work was to evaluate the main productive and economic parameters of growing-fattening guinea pigs subjected to high density rearing in cages, considering lots of 20 animals per m2 (0.05 m2/animal) in contrast to densities of 10 and 15 animals per m². We worked with 90 improved male guinea pigs belonging to the Cieneguilla - UNALM genotype, with an average weight of 338.57 g. The present investigation was carried out in the facilities of the “Laboratorio de Animales Menores” (LAM), belonging to the “Programa de Investigación y Proyección Social en Animales Menores” (PIPSAM) of the “Universidad Nacional Agraria de La Molina” (UNALM), between the months of January to March 2022, for seven weeks; being divided into three treatments: 0.10 m2/animal (T1), 0.07 m2/animal (T2) and 0.05 m2/animal (T3), considering thirty animals per treatment, with three repetitions of ten animals in each one. The diet supplied was a mixed diet composed of concentrate and forage, which was offered ad libitum as well as drinking water throughout the experiment. The results achieved in the evaluation of the variables weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion, mortality, carcass yield, the amount of visible fat and the variable lesions present in the carcass; did not show significant differences (p>0.05) between treatments. Finally, regarding the retribution and economic merit, all the treatments obtained similar values for the form of gain per guinea pig unit, kilogram of live weight and kilogram of carcass, with slight numerical advantages achieved by T3. Therefore, it can be recommended to raise guinea pigs in cages at a density of 0.05 m2 per guinea pig.
