Abstract: The semi-intensive cattle rearing system is an alternative that combines the consumption of pastures and the supplementation of balanced feed. This system allows to increase productivity and profitability as a starting point, the lack of adequate processes for improvement within the rearing and fattening is analyzed. The objective of the project is to evaluate the feasibility of production and the results obtained in a semi-intensive system. To this end, a study was carried out in the area of Chillogallo south of Quito to producers who are engaged in this activity in a traditional or extensive system. The present study determined the feasibility of an implementation of a semi-intensive production system of fattening cattle as an economic alternative in the Chillogallo sector, the combination of pastures and balanced feeds that should provide a balanced diet to the animal, which provides the necessary nutrients for its growth and development contributed to producing animals that reach the adequate weight for commercialization in a given period of one year.
