CastellaroG.,G.; SquellaN.,F.; LeonC.,F.; RaggiS.,A., 2008: Botanical composition of alpaca diet in a Central Mediterranean range of Chile. The re-introduction of domestic South American camelids (alpacas and llamas) in the central zone of Chile makes it necessary to study their behaviour and adaptability. Since it is fundamental to characterize the camelid's diet, the present wo...

Castellaro, G.; Leon, F.; Wackwitz, B.; Raggi, A., 2001: Botanical composition of alpaca (Lama pacos) diet and degradability of range forages in the central zone of Chile. We studied diet selection and dry matter degradability of forages most commonly consumed by alpacas in the rangelands of the Central Zone of Chile during the vegetative, reproductive and dry period. We observed browse selection by alpacas, especia...

Wernli, C.; Silvo, M.; Trucco, A., 1977: The nutritive value of range pastures in Chile. 1. Mediterranean grasslands of central Chile. Between 30 deg and 40 deg S. lat. along 1300 km of central Chile, with a marked variation in ecological conditions, samples of available forage were collected during the grazing season from 31 locations on granitic soils and 17 locations on marine...

Braga, W.; Leyva, V.; Cochran, R., 2007: The effect of altitude on alpaca (Lama pacos) fiber production. In the Peruvian highlands, alpaca rearing areas are located between 4100 and 4700m above sea level, with the finest fiber production believed to be associated with higher altitudes. The purpose of this experiment was to study the effect of differ...

Pollard, J.C.; Littlejohn, R.P.; Davis, G.H., 1993: Changes in liveweight and behaviour of alpaca dams and offspring following weaning. The effects of offspring sex, weight, age, and level of interaction with the dam on responses to weaning were examined to assist in the development of a weaning protocol for alpacas. In the first study, pre- and post-weaning activities, and weight...

A review, including a reanalysis (embodying additional material) of data reported in a study by Robelin and Geay [see ABA 47, 598]. A model for estimation of energy and protein retention in growing cattle is presented.
