Rasplođivanja mužjaka alpaka (Vicugna pacos, L.)

Veterinarska stanica, 2018
Alpake su pripitomljene životinje iz porodice deva koje potječu s južnoameričkih Anda. Fiziologija rasplođivanja alpaka se znatno razlikuje od nama poznatih domaćih životinja. Rasplodna sezona u Južnoj Americi traje tijekom kišne sezone, od prosinca do ožujka, dok se u Sjevernoj Americi pare čitave godine. Spolno su zreli u dobi od 1 do 3 godine.
