abstract = {The development of breeding animals is essential to ensure the productivity of guinea pigs, so an adequate supply of nutrients is required. However, information on their nutritional requirements is limited, particularly with regard to amino acids such as lysine, wich affects their productive performance. We evaluated the effects of dietary lysine levels (0.84, 1.01, 1.18, and 1.34%) on prim parous guinea pigs and their progeny. We used a total of 60 female guinea pigs at 976±17.95 g. A randomized block design analysis was performed with four dietary treatments (lysine levels) and 15 repetitions/treatments. The results revealed that fertility showed a negative trend with the increase in lysine, the birth rate was highest (82%) with 1.18% lysine than others. The guinea pigs that received1. 18% lysine had young with the highest birth weight (206±4.4 g/Guinea pig; p},
