Ultrasound dilution cardiac output and echocardiography findings in anesthetized mature alpacas (Vicugna pacos) during normotension, hypotension and hypertension.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Alpacas (Vicugna pacos) have physiologic adaptations to live at high altitude. These adaptations may result in unexpected responses to changes in cardiac performance and blood pressure during general anesthesia.

Alimentary necrobacillosis in alpacas [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2020
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)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2013
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).

Alpaca Field Behaviour When Cohabitating with Lambing Ewes

Animals, 2020
A common strategy to reduce predator attack on livestock is the deployment of guardian alpacas. However, little research has been conducted on the behaviour of this species while housed with other livestock.

Clinical and Histological Features of Ovarian Hypoplasia/Dysgenesis in Alpacas

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Alpacas have a high incidence of congenital reproductive tract abnormalities, including ovarian hypoplasia/dysgenesis. Diagnosis of this condition is often challenging.

Interaction between the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) and agouti signalling protein genes (ASIP), and their association with black and brown coat colour phenotypes in peruvian alpaca

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2020
The aim of this work was to assess the interaction between MC1R and ASIP genes in determining coat colour variation in black and brown Peruvian alpacas. Skin biopsies were collected from 25 black alpacas and 15 brown alpacas.

EVALUATION OF TWO CULTURE MEDIA IN IN VITRO PRODUCTION OF ALPACA (Vicugna pacos) EMBRYOS [PDF]

SPERMOVA, 2021
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.
