Alpacas are beautiful, intelligent and hardy animals, raised for their wonderfully soft fibre which comes in a dazzling array of natural colours. However like all animals, alpacas do have small health issues. As they are still relatively new on the Australian agricultural scene, health texts are few and far between. All too often problems happen when professional help is far distant. The notes in this book form part of an ongoing collection of these issues, based on current information and anecdotes provided by more experienced breeders. Topics range from eye and ear problems to brith and behavioural issues, and include a useful section on plants known to be poisonous to alpacas. -- Back cover.

This book is exactly what you need. The alpacas and llamas both come from the camelid family but they are not nearly as bad tempered and smelly as their relative the camel, and are closer to llamas. Alpacas give more wool as their wool is fine and in a single layer. Alpacas are ideal animals for the small homestead. There really is joy in keeping alpacas as they are an easy care livestock. They are hardy, generally disease-resistant and they thrive in every weather condition imaginable. They are good with children and therefore alpacas make excellent pets. They almost always give birth during daylight hours, and are a novel experience for the kids, and also less stressful for mom and dad! In this book you will learn how to feed, care, treat, groom, housing, proper hygiene and welfare of alpacas and how best you can groom them as your pet. GRAB YOUR COPY NOW!!!

For many new entrants to the alpaca industry a major allure is the thought of breeding these beautiful, intelligent and easily-handled animals. The challenging question that new breeders must ask themselves is “Why do I want to breed alpacas?” This leads to other vital questions – “Huacaya, suri, or both?”; “White, coloured, or a bit of everything?”; “How much do I need to spend?”; “How many should I buy?” For some people purchasing alpacas, the initial reason is as a small-scale hobby farm. However for many of these people, as they begin to breed and learn more about their alpacas, their focus changes and they use their knowledge to improve the quality of their stock – whether for fibre production, for stud breeding, or with an eye to winning show ribbons. This book is a basic guide to some of the skills and practices of alpaca production. This guide covers information on alpaca production including health, breeding and farming, nutritional needs and breeding to improve fleece. Table of contents: · The Australian Alpaca industry in Australia · Alpaca breeds · Farming alpacas · Farming alpacas as a breeding enterprise · Farming alpacas for meat production · Alpacas as guardian animals · Alpacas as pets on small acreages · Farm infrastructure · The digestive system and how it works · Alpaca nutrition · Pasture and land management · Breeding to improve fleece · Fleece assessment · Preparation of fleece for processing · The genetics of alpaca breeding · Purchasing decisions · Health problems and preparing for the vet · Digestive disorders and dental conditions · Vitamin and mineral deficiencies · Poisoning and liver disease · Parasite worms, fluke and ticks · Extremes of heat and cold · Injuries · Pregnancy, birthing and neonatal problems · Biosecurity, record keeping and transport · Alpaca shows · Management planner

As well as being adorable animals with a thick, warm fleece, llamas and alpacas are also intelligent, discerning, curious and sociable. In addition they are docile, gentle and easily trained. Natural grazers and browsers, they keep down hedges and pastures, they rarely challenge even the most pathetic fencing unless they are frightened, or in love. They require very little supplementary feed, live outside all year round, are generally hardy, healthy and happy. Llamas and Alpacas - A Guide to Management contains all the basic information required in order to keep these animals successfully and provides an invaluable insight into what keeping llamas and alapacas involves in terms of resources, housing, equipment and skills. It assumes no prior knowledge of llamas and alpacas, nor the husbandry of other domesticated species, and is ideal for the uninitiated as well as being a comprehensive reference source for the established camelid keeper. The book contains chapters that deal with land and housing, nutrition, husbandry and welfare, fleece evaluation, fleece marketing, animal assessment and showing, breeding, birth, the care of the newborn and common health problems.Designed to be a husbandry handbook, it aims to cover the basic knowledge required to keep llamas and alpacas successfully. It assumes no prior knowledge of llamas and alpacas, nor the husbandry of other domesticated species, and is ideal for the completely uninitiated, as well as being a useful source of first reference for the established camelid keeper. Superbly illustrated with 183 colour photographs and 23 diagrams and drawings. Gina Bromage is an experienced veterinary surgeon who keeps alpacas.
