    In the Guaytacama parish, as in the rest of the Cotopaxi province, he majority of the villagers are dedicated to the livestock farming and agriculture, being part of small and medium sized producers that makes up Ecuador, by the lack of reliable statistical data, as the lack of programs dedicated to the improvement of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, including cattle, results in low productivity, efficiency and effectiveness, and a low profitability around milk production, therefore, an investigation has been carried out in the Guaytacama parish, in which 20 producers participate in an improvement project, promoted by the Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi, with 97 cattle, through production cost records, daily weight gain (DWG), milk production during the lactation (305 days), milk density, the height though the height of the cross. The results obtained showed that the average milk production price is $ 0.54 per liter of milk, with a monthly benefit of $19.90. In relation to the DWG the average is 321,13gr what is estimated to achieve the estimated value of 700 g/day in the next two generations. In terms of average milk production is 1014,13 kg/day/lactation, therefore, it is estimated that four generations are required to achieve the desired result of 5,000 kg/day/lactation. Likewise, the average density is 1.026 gr/ml, and could reach the estimated average in three generations, at issue to the height of the average cross is 138 cm, it is necessary to decrease the height for the following generations. Regarding the correlation coefficient, there is not a clear correlation with the monthly milk production. In conclusion, the low monthly profit, such as the high cost of milk production per liter, along with the low rates of the parish, it gives as a result an inefficient in the economic profitability, and highlights the lack of genetic improvement programs.
