The surveys were divided according to the sector of goat farmers who participated in the project, in areas of Julcuy. In the next phase, to analyze and interpret the data, simple descriptive statistics (counts, percentages) were used, for which Microsoft Office Excel was used, which allowed organizing the results in percentages and in contingency tables, and establishing graphs that allowed visualize the behavior of the variables to be analyzed for easy interpretation. In the final phase, to analyze whether there was significance in the results found, the Chi-square test was used, which in this study was not significant in the relationship between the type of productive management and the reproductive parameters analyzed.
