  • Camelids: New Players in the International Animal Production Context
    Tropical Animal Health and Production (2020) 52:903–913 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11250-019-02197-2 REVIEWS Camelids: new players in the international animal production context Mousa Zarrin1 & José L. Riveros2 & Amir Ahmadpour1,3 & André M. de Almeida4 & Gaukhar Konuspayeva5 & Einar Vargas- Bello-Pérez6 & Bernard Faye7 & Lorenzo E. Hernández-Castellano8 Received: 30 October 2019 /Accepted: 22 December 2019 /Published online: 2 January 2020 # Springer Nature B.V. 2020 Abstract The Camelidae family comprises the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius), and four species of South American camelids: llama (Lama glama),alpaca(Lama pacos)guanaco(Lama guanicoe), and vicuña (Vicugna vicugna). The main characteristic of these species is their ability to cope with either hard climatic conditions like those found in arid regions (Bactrian and dromedary camels) or high-altitude landscapes like those found in South America (South American camelids). Because of such interesting physiological and adaptive traits, the interest for these animals as livestock species has increased considerably over the last years. In general, the main animal products obtained from these animals are meat, milk, and hair fiber, although they are also used for races and work among other activities. In the near future, climate change will likely decrease agricultural areas for animal production worldwide, particularly in the tropics and subtropics where competition with crops for human consumption is a major problem already. In such conditions, extensive animal production could be limited in some extent to semi-arid rangelands, subjected to periodical draughts and erratic patterns of rainfall, severely affecting conventional livestock production, namely cattle and sheep.

  • South American Camelids – Origin of the Species
    SOUTH AMERICAN CAMELIDS – ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES PLEISTOCENE ANCESTOR Old World Camels VicunaLLAMA Guanaco Alpaca Hybrids Lama Dromedary Bactrian LAMA Llamas were not always confined to South America; abundant llama-like remains were found in Pleistocene deposits in the Rocky Mountains and in Central America. Some of the fossil llamas were much larger than current forms. Some species remained in North America during the last ice ages. Llama-like animals would have been a common sight in 25,000 years ago, in modern-day USA. The camelid lineage has a good fossil record indicating that North America was the original home of camelids, and that Old World camels crossed over via the Bering land bridge & after the formation of the Isthmus of Panama three million years ago; it allowed camelids to spread to South America as part of the Great American Interchange, where they evolved further. Meanwhile, North American camelids died out about 40 million years ago. Alpacas and vicuñas are in genus Vicugna. The genera Lama and Vicugna are, with the two species of true camels. Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. It resembles a small llama in superficial appearance. Alpacas and llamas differ in that alpacas have straight ears and llamas have banana-shaped ears. Aside from these differences, llamas are on average 30 to 60 centimeters (1 to 2 ft) taller and proportionally bigger than alpacas. Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Ecuador, southern Peru, northern Bolivia, and northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m (11,000 ft) to 5,000 m (16,000 ft) above sea-level, throughout the year.

  • Slaughter and Killing of Minority Farmed Species
    Charity Registered in England & Wales No 1159690 Charitable Incorporated Organisation Technical Note No 25 Slaughter and Killing of Minority Farmed Species Summary The last twenty years or so have seen many big changes in British agriculture. The livestock sector in particular has had to change radically to adapt to new legislation, stricter production standards set by the customer and changes to the subsidy system. Some livestock farmers have diversified into the rearing of species not indigenous to the UK: these include the Asian water buffalo, North American bison, ostrich, camelids and species that lived here in ancient times, such as wild boar. As with domestic livestock, these animals are bred and reared for various reasons, the main ones being milk, meat and wool or fibre production. When slaughtering or killing these animals, it is highly likely that the slaughterman and/or veterinary surgeon will be presented with a number of challenges not normally experienced with domesticated livestock. It is essential that careful planning and preparation takes place before any attempt is made to slaughter or kill these animals. Humane Slaughter Association The Old School. Brewhouse Hill Wheathampstead.

For the purposes of this leaflet, they are deer, ostrich, wild boar, water buffalo, bison and camelids (alpaca and llama). These all present meat hygiene and slaughter staff with new challenges due to physical and behavioural differences compared to traditional domestic livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and horses).

Camels were among the first species recommended for Pleistocene rewilding. Camelids have been abundant and widely distributed since the mid-Cenozoic and were among the first species recommended for Pleistocene rewilding. They show a range of adaptations to dry and marginal habitats, keywords: Camelids and have been found in deserts, grasslands and savannas throughout paleohistory. Camelids have also Camel developed close relationships with pastoralist and farming cultures wherever they occur. We review the Guanaco evolutionary and paleoecological history of extinct and extant camelids, and then discuss their potential Llama ecological roles within rewilding projects for deserts, grasslands and savannas.

  • Get to Know Exotic Fiber!
    Get to know Exotic Fiber! In this article we will go over how camel, alpaca, yak and vicuna fiber is made into yarn. As we have all been learning, we can make fiber out of just about anything. These exotic fibers range from great everyday items to once in a lifetime chance to even see. In this article we will touch on camel, alpaca, yak and vicuna fiber. Camelids refers to the biological family that contain camels, alpacas and vicunas. In general, camelids are two-toed, longer necked, herbivores that have adapted to match their environment. Yaks are part of the bovidae family which also contain cattle, sheep, goats, antelopes and several other species. Yaks can get up to 7 feet tall and weight upwards of 1,300 pounds. Domesticated yaks are considerably smaller. Lets start with Camels! The Bactrian Camel, which produces the finest fiber, are commonly found in Mongolia. They can live up to 50 years and be over 7 feet tall at the hump. These two-humped herbivores hair is mainly imported from Mongolia. In ancient times, China, Iraq, and Afghanistan were some of the first countries to utilize camel fiber. Bactrian Camels are double coated to withstand both high mountain winters and summers in the desert sand. The coarse guard hairs can be paired with sheep wool, while the undercoat is very soft and a great insulator. Every spring Bactrian Camels naturally shed their winter coats, making it easier to turn into yarn. Back when camel caravans were the main form of transportation of people and goods, a "trailer" was a person that followed behind the caravan collecting the fibers.

  • Wool and Other Animal Fibers in South America
    Proceedings of the Symposium on Natural Fibres 43 Wool and other animal fibers in South America Roberto Cardellino, Delta Consultants, Uruguay* and Joaquín Mueller** INTRODUCTION The South American sub-continent is a vast and variable area that includes 12 independent countries and many different ecological conditions, from tropical areas in the north to temperate climates in the centre and semi-desert conditions in the south. (Map 1). Map 1 – South America Table 1 – The importance of animal fi bers in South America Production in kgs Wool 143 700 000 Alpaca 4 055 595 Llama 3 342 866 Mohair 825 000 Vicuña 5 580 Guanaco 1 500 Source: Cardellino,R. based on SAGPyA, SUL, ODEPA, IICA, IWTO Wool is by far the most important ani- mal fi ber in South America; however other animal fi bers like alpaca, llama, and mohair are also produced in large quantities, whereas vicuña, guanaco, angora and cashmere have a great potential for development but the amount produced at present is low (Table 1). The production of wool and other specialty of fi bers is concentrated in the Southern Cone of the sub-continent (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and south of Brazil), where climate is temperate or deserted. Further north, with the exception of the Altiplano region, (the highlands of the Andes mountains), the production of these animal fi bers is not possible due to the tropical climatic conditions. * Delta Consultants, Director ** National Institute for Agriculture Technology, INTA 44 Proceedings of the Symposium on Natural Fibres Map 2 – South America: sheep producing areas THE PRODUCTION OF WOOL The main areas in South America producing wool are shown in Map 2.
