Sheep's milk (Ovis aries) is mainly produced in Asia (45.6%), with notable quantities in China and Turkey, followed by Europe (29.0%), Africa (24.5%), Oceania (<0.1%) and in North and South America (0.9%), the latter area is reported to be increasing. In Mexico, sheep production systems for dairy purposes are poorly understood, because the population usually consume milk and dairy by-products of bovine origin; and those of goat and sheep origin consume it little. However, sheep milk production has potential; first, promoting diversification in production; second, as a promising increase in profits of the farmers (conquest of consumers of demanding palates and with high purchasing power); and third, align with new trends and modify food production to more natural systems (environmentally friendly) that harmonize with agricultural production, which promote bio diversity. This study aims to describe the model of the -Livestock Production Unit- (LPU) located in the Volcanoes region. Alternative model to produce milk and cheese of sheep origin found in the facilities of the -Centro para la Sustentabilidad de la Sierra Nevada- 'Incalli Ixcahuicopa' (CENTLI); which belongs to the -Programa de Investigación Sierra Nevada- (PISN) of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM). The sheep in this LPU are of the East Friesian breed and the choice was because it is a dairy breed par excellence and that ensures a higher yield of milk transformed into cheese. The sanitary and reproductive management carried out in this productive unit is optimal to achieve the production standards of the breed using local food resources.
