ALPACA HEALTH: AN OVERVIEW
Heat Stress In Alpacas
As we all know, heat stress is not unique to alpacas. Humans can also suffer from heat stress under extreme conditions and many steps that are taken to reduce human heat stress can also be used for alpacas. However, alpacas faced the additional challenges of having a built-in fur coat that helps retain body heat. Alpaca Academy, Author: Ian Prokop
Minimum Standards of Care for Llamas and Alpacas
Minimum Standards of Care are mandatory to llama and alpaca survival and humane treatment. These are the most basic requirements that all llamas and alpacas must have for physical well-being and, as such, define minimum requirements for animal control officers and government officials investigating questionable llama and alpaca care situations.  ©2005, Camelid Community Standards of Care Working Group
