Genetic variability among and within domestic Old and New World camels at the α-lactalbumin gene (LALBA) reveals new alleles and polymorphisms responsible for differential expression.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
α-Lactalbumin (α-LA), which is encoded by the LALBA gene, is a major whey protein that binds to Ca2+ and facilitates lactose synthesis as a regulatory subunit of the synthase enzyme complex.

Dysuria due to discospondylitis and intervertebral disc herniation in a male alpaca (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Dysuria in camelids is usually associated with the presence of lower urinary tract disease such as urolithiasis. As another differential diagnosis, urine retention may be caused by neurological disturbances resulting from infections of the ...

Role, distribution and perspective of camel breeding in the third millennium economies [PDF]

, 2015
Although, it is occupying quantitavely a marginal place among the domestic herbivorous (0.4% only of the world domestic herbivorous), the large camelids (dromedary and Bactrian) are present in almost all the arid lands of the old world (except in ...

Using modern reproductive methods to hybridize old and new world Camelids : Camelus dromedarius x Lama guanicoe

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2000
A group of nine female and one male guanaco were maintained alongside a larger herd of dromedary camels at the Camel Reproduction Centre in Dubai. The ovaries of the female guanacos and camels were scanned regularly, and when they exhibited a dominant ...

Dental disease in alpacas. Part 2: Risk factors associated with diastemata, periodontitis, occlusal pulp exposure, wear abnormalities, and malpositioned teeth

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2020
Background Dental disorders, of which tooth root abscesses are best documented, are highly prevalent in alpacas. Identification of risk factors can be valuable for prevention of dental disorders in this species.
