Productive parameters in South American camelids

Manglar, 2021
The objective of this study wasto determine the productive parameters in South American camelids. The study was carried out in the Quimsachata camelid germplasm bank, located in the department of Puno, Peru. The monthly alpacas and llamas counting sheets for the 2014-2018 period were used. The total annual average capital

Evaluation of a non‐radioactive rapid test for determination of serum progesterone in South American camelids

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Determination of the serum progesterone (P4) concentration is of high importance in reproductive medicine and may be applied for diagnosing pregnancy in South American camelids. P4 measurements in alpacas and llamas are usually performed using immunoassays, which are time consuming and require appropriate expertise of laboratory ...

Evaluation of a rapid method for measuring lactate in the venous blood of ruminants

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In cattle and small ruminants, blood lactate can predict recovery and survival in various diseases. Increased lactate concentration is associated with an unfavourable‐to‐poor prognosis. Different mobile rapid lactate measurement devices have been explored in different animal species.

A framework for capturing indirect impacts in site‐level screening for biodiversity risks

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Site‐based industrial operations such as mining, oil and gas extraction and renewable energy development are associated with many direct and indirect impacts on biodiversity. Consideration of the full range of these impacts when selecting a buffer distance to approximate the Area of Influence (AoI) of a project is critical for effective ...

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.
