The Whys and "What-for" of Leg Conformation Karen I. Timm, DVM, PhD
Correct leg conformation optimizes bone and joint health throughout the life of the animal and therefore is important to its well-being. An alpaca with crooked legs has a much greater chance of developing early "wear and tear" pathology of bones and joints, such as joint pain and arthritis; than one with correctly aligned legs.
 
Alpacas - Body Conformation Mount Airy Alpaca Co.
Conformation is the term that we use to describe the correctness in the body of the alpaca.
