Cuy Research: Peru

Friday 26^th February

Following on from the last blog entry, Carlos and I, accompanied by Nellida and her boyfriend (Nellida is a Cuy expert and an agronomist) visited a government run Cuy Farm close to Cusco. We wanted to understand more about rearing Cuyes and the different options available, as well as learning more about the costs and profit margins that could be available to the community. It was extremely interesting and the project is run by a young Peruvian lady who has offered to help us with our project. A really encouraging visit!
