On Saturday morning, our open house began at 10:00. About 10:30 or so, Steve and I noticed that Amber was rolling and hoping up and down. We both made a mental note, but didn't mention it
2: Assessing Fetal Health: When is the Gestating Cria at Risk?
Assessment of fetal well-being is an area of on-going research at The Ohio State University. We have been concerned by the limited ability to determine if a gestating cria is OK.
3: Winter Birthing
So should we breed our females this late in the year? What are the consequences if we do and are we adding unduly to the risks? My experience says I don't think so, but there are some lessons that have been learnt on the way.
4: The Prepartum Alpaca: Some Considerations
The gestation period of the female alpaca is long, at eleven months, and the owner is anxious to have a cria on the ground. There are some considerations that every alpaca owner and/or breeder should have in mind. They are: 1) nutritional needs of the dam, 2) vaccination and/or deworming, 3) changes in behaviour, and 4) parturition itself.
