Alimentary necrobacillosis in alpacas [PDF]
Ulcers of the oral cavity, esophagus, and gastric compartments of South American camelids are uncommon. Multifocal-to-coalescing ulcers were identified in the oral cavity, esophagus, and/or gastric compartments of 5 alpacas submitted for postmortem examination. Fusobacterium necrophorum was isolated from the lesions in all alpacas, in combination with

Microbial Community in the Forestomachs of Alpacas (Lama pacos) and Sheep (Ovis aries)
Four 2-yr old alpacas ((48±2.3) kg) and four 2-yr old sheep ((50±1.7) kg) were used to study the pH and microbial community of forestomach from alpacas (Lama pacos) and sheep (Ovis aries) fed fresh alfalfa as the sole forage at low altitude (793 m).

EVALUATION OF TWO CULTURE MEDIA IN IN VITRO PRODUCTION OF ALPACA (Vicugna pacos) EMBRYOS [PDF]
The present study aims to evaluate the effect of two culture media on the production of in vitro embryos in alpacas (Vicugna pacos). The ovaries were transported at 10.52° C in 0.9% saline solution supplemented with gentamicin.

Polimorfismos de nucleótido simple (PNSs) del gen MC1R en alpacas negras y marrones
En alpacas los fenotipos del color de vellón tienen diferentes terminologías que induce a una confusión dentro del color marrón y sus tonalidades, el que requiere de una mejor descripción y cuantificación. En consecuencia los objetivos del estudio fueron
