Parasite Control from the Ground Up with E.Mac & Epe
This talk describes parasite prevention, and dewormer dosages. We discuss the 100 per cent deworming program as well as strategic control schedules. Do we “over deworm?” Is our fecal exam diagnostic? Are our dewormers working? We address these concerns.
Alpaca Skin Problems: Pictures; Diagnosis; Treatment
Detailed Steps in Breeding Selection to Maximize Fiber including EPD's
How to Produce Fiber That Judges Will Reward
We discuss selection for fiber, alpaca health, skin health, skin lesions, and how nutrition affects fiber quality and production
Nutrition Based on Need
This talk addresses the reasons for testing alpaca forages and how to select the proper supplement based on the forage test. We discuss basic nutritional guidelines for different classes of alpacas. Also addressed is feeding space, choke, body scoring, etc. We discuss feeding management considerations, the obese alpaca & the thin alpaca. Nutrition related conditions such as polio, ulcers, and hepatic lipidosis.
