Meat and carcass quality from Peruvian llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (Lama pacos)

Meat Science, 2004
An experiment based on 20 llama males and 40 alpaca males reared in Peru has been carried out with the aim to evaluate the live growth performances, carcass quality, the nutritional characteristics of meat from animals slaughtered at 25 months of age, and to determine the physical and chemical parameters of meat obtained from these animals.

Tenderness evaluation and mineral levels of llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (Lama pacos) meat

Meat Science, 2007
Tenderness and mineral levels were determined in the Longissimus thoracis taken from 20 llama and 30 alpaca males reared in Peru and slaughtered at 25 months of age. Mineral contents were determined using an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer.

Intraocular pressure in normal llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Lama pacos)

Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2000
Objective:To determine the mean intraocular pressure in llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Lama pacos) using applanation tonometry.Animals studied:Ten llamas and 10 alpacas.Procedures:Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with a Tono‐Pen™ XL (Mentor Ophthalmics, Inc., Norwell, MA, USA). Three values, with 5% variance, were recorded for each eye.

The pharmacokinetics of topical doramectin in llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Lama pacos)

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2004
There are many factors (i.e. renal physiology, hepatic metabolism, etc.) between species that could lead to modifications in the pharmacokinetics and thus possibly changes in the therapeutic interval of a compound (Short, 1994). The dosage regimens in New World camelids is often determined with little information regarding the pharmacokinetics or ...

Pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered caffeine in healthy alpacas (Lama pacos) and llamas (Lama glama)

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2006
Abstract Objective—To determine the pharmacokinetic disposition of IV administered caffeine in healthy Lama spp camelids. Animals—4 adult male alpacas and 4 adult female llamas. Procedures—Caffeine (3 mg/kg) was administered as an IV bolus. Plasma caffeine concentrations were determined by use of high-performance liquid chromatography in 6 animals and ...

Systemic Candida albicans Infection in Two Alpacas (Lama pacos)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2008
Systemic Candida albicans infection was diagnosed in two adult alpaca stallions originating from different herds. Case 1 had a history of chronic dermatitis with unknown aetiology that had been treated long-term with glucocorticoids. Case 2 had suffered from transient facial paralysis and psoroptic mange of the external ear.

Coccidia (Protozoa: Eimeriidae) of the Alpaca Lama pacos*

The Journal of Protozoology, 1967
SYNOPSIS. Three new species of coccidia are described from the alpaca Lama pacos from Peru. These are the first species of coccidia to be named from this host. The oocysts of Eimeria lamae n. sp. are ellipsoidal, occasionally ovoid, 30–40 by 21–30 μ (mean 35.6 by 24.5 μ) with elongate ovoid sporocysts 13–16 by 8–10 μ (mean 15.3 by 8.5 μ).

Occlusal Development and Masseter Activity in Alpacas (Lama pacos)

The Anatomical Record, 2009
AbstractTooth eruption and the development of occlusion are significant ontogenetic changes in the masticatory apparatus of mammals. Here, we test the hypothesis that changes in masseter activity are correlated with increased occlusal contacts at major stages of dental development in the alpaca, Lama pacos.

Serologie survey of viral antibodies in the Peruvian alpaca (Lama pacos)

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1987
SUMMARY Sera from more than 100 alpacas (Lama pacos) from the Peruvian southern sierra were examined for antibodies to 8 viruses known to infect other domestic animals. On the basis of these serologic findings and previously published serologic or clinical data, it is now known that the alpaca can be infected with the following viruses: parainfluenza-3,

Ataxia and head tremor in an alpaca (Lama pacos)

Veterinary Record, 1992
An 18-month-old alpaca developed nervous signs, including swaying of the head and neck, a wide-based stance and hind-limb ataxia. No certain diagnosis was made but the animal recovered after successive treatment with amoxycillin, vitamin B1, ivermectin and copper oxide, followed by vitamin E and selenium.
