Caretaker attitudes and animal training are associated with alpaca behaviour towards humans—An online survey

open access: yes, 2021
Although alpacas are becoming increasingly popular animals, their behaviour towards humans has received little research interest until now. The purpose of our study was to investigate, for the first time, associations between caretaker attitudes and ...

Term alpaca placenta glycosylation profile and its correlation with pregnancy maintenance and fetal survival

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Alpaca is a South American camelid, particularly present in Peruvian highlands, where oxygen concentration and atmospheric pressure are very low. Due to this fact, gestational physiology has adapted to preserve the conceptus’ and mother’s health. In this
