The Mexican economy had boosted its growth primarily by tertiary activities, relegating the primary activities to the last place of importance. Despite this, primary production continues being very important for the development of other sectors, since it is a strong driver of economic activity; for this reason, this work focuses on analyzing the contribution of the livestock sector in the economy, highlighting their contributions to the national production and its relevance in the intermediate demand. This contribution was analyzed using the input output matrix, which allows to knowing the offer and demand cross-sector, identifying the most important sectors in the economy. Productive linkages were identified with inner livestock production activities and the input demand, ovine-caprine systems used 69 %, bovine used 52 %, swine 46 % and poultry system used 45 %. Branches such as the cultivation of cereals and oilseeds remain a significant proportion in its pattern of inputs. In regards to the multiplier of the product, swine systems (2.28) and poultry (2.24) drove the economic development, because the leverage that represents for other sectors like oilseeds, cereals and animal feed industry.
