“Advanced Alpaca Techniques”
This
hands-on seminar, focusing on alpaca reproduction, goes beyond the basics.
Combining basic sciences, management and clinical perspectives, this
presentation is designed to provide advanced information on alpaca developmental
and adult male and female reproductive physiology/anatomy. It includes
information on “state of the art breeding” practices, and issues associated with
birthing, weaning and re-breeding.
Also included will be the opportunity to discuss, observe or perform some of the
following techniques: blood draws, using swabs to determine male fertility, use
of the speculum, ultrasound for effective herd management, stethoscopic skills,
use of herbal and other lactation hormones, tubing the cria, use of glucometer,
etc.
Designed to significantly enhance your breeding knowledge, the information
presented in this workshop will enable you to be a far more effective mentor to
new farms and will set you apart from individuals who don’t keep up with
continuing education.
