Welfare Guide ALPACAS and LLAMAS 2015.Pdf ALPACAS, LLAMAS & Guanaco Welfare Guide 2014 A welfare guide issued to form secondary legislation Attached to the Animal Welfare Act 2006 Anthony. A. Turner.MMS. BAS Welfare Committee British Alpaca Society · PO Box 251 · Exeter, Devon EX2 8W June 2014 Page 1 of 60 Preface The Animal Welfare Act 2006 is based on a duty of care philosophy which obliges the owners and persons in charge of an animal to meet the physical, health and behavioral needs of animals in a manner that is in accordance with both good practice and scientific knowledge. The Act provides for the development of codes of animal welfare, which are designed to help everyone care for animals. Codes flesh out the provisions of the Act by setting minimum standards of care, which owners and persons in charge of animals are expected to meet. In addition, codes which should be preferably outcome-based, include recommended best practice and explanatory material intended to encourage optimum animal welfare that exceeds the requirements of the minimum standards. Outcome-based standards in codes of welfare focus on defining welfare outcomes for animals based on known needs. They do this in a manner that requires those outcomes to be delivered, rather than prescribing specific requirements for facilities and management techniques and systems. The challenge in developing a code of welfare is to integrate the various and often conflicting social, ethical, economic and production management value judgments with the available science in a way that does not stifle innovation or require frequent alteration of the codes. Codes of welfare should spell out the minimum acceptable standards for managing animals in a manner that accommodates new knowledge and the changes that will inevitably occur in housing and management systems. Therefore, minimum standards that focus on the animal and its minimum required welfare outcomes offer greater utility and are likely to be more long-lived than prescriptive facilities-based standards that become outdated by new developments and attitudes. Experience with prescriptive standards has shown that if the intended outcome is not stated, there can be debate about the validity of the standard because of different interpretations of the intended outcome. Facilities specifications could be offered in support of outcome-based minimum standards but not be a part of them. It is considered that outcome-based standards, which would include readily observable and measurable welfare indicators, as measures of the achievement of that outcome, would allow farmers (or owners) to use their own expertise, experience, available technology and judgment to meet the minimum standards and demonstrate compliance with them.

South American camelids (llamas, alpacas and guanaco) are kept for both commercial and personal purposes, and in a variety of different systems. Whether the animals are being run in an extensive situation for large-scale fibre production, or being kept as intensively handled packing animals, or as companion animals, both experience and the observation of high standards is required to ensure the welfare of the animals. The purpose of this code is to encourage all those responsible for implementation to adopt the highest standards of husbandry. The minimum standards in this code set out the minimum standard of care which owners or persons in charge of animals need to meet in order to meet their obligations under the Animal Welfare Act. Suggested indicators do not have a legal effect but they can be used to determine whether minimum standards are being met. The recommendations for best practice are intended to encourage standards of care over and above the minimum. Advice is given throughout this code which is designed to encourage owners and operators to strive for a high level of welfare. Explanatory material is provided where appropriate. This code provides the general principles for the care of animals, but it is expected that the British Alpaca Society, the British Llama Society and British Camelids Ltd will develop operational specifications consistent with the requirements of this code and incorporate these specifications in quality assurance programmes (see Section 9 Quality Management). Page 5 of 60 A.2 Who does this guide apply to? This code sets out the general principles for the care of New World (South American) camelids. It is intended for all persons responsible for the welfare of camelids, and applies to all camelids kept in the UK. Common species of camelids found in the UK include Vicugna pacos, (alpaca),Lama guanicoe (guanaco) and Lama glama (llama). Under the Act the owner of an animal and the person in charge is responsible for meeting the legal obligations for animal welfare. In some cases or for particular procedures, the owner of the animals places them in the care of others who become the persons in charge. A.3 What animals does this guide apply to? This code applies to all South American camelids kept for any purpose in the UK (alpacas, llamas, guanacos and crossbreds of these species). A.4 What happens if I do not follow the minimum standards in this guide? Failure to meet a minimum standard in this code may be used as evidence to support a prosecution for an offence under the Animal Welfare Act. A person who is charged with such an offence can defend him or herself by showing that he or she has equaled or exceeded the minimum standards in this code. The recommendations for best practice in this code have no legal effect and are included to encourage higher standards of animal welfare. The suggested indicators are included as examples of how to assess whether or not minimum standards have been met. A.5 How does

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.

  • Guanaco Lama Guanicoe
    Guanaco Lama guanicoe Class: Mammalia Order: Cetartiodactyla Family: Camelidae Characteristics: The guanaco is the largest wild member of the camelid family in South America. Guanacos have a long slender neck, and thin long legs. Their thick wool coat is light brown or tan on top of the body, and white on the underbelly and legs. The head is a grey of black color but the lips and ears are white. Guanacos, like other camelids have large pads on the soles of their hooves. The pads help the guanaco to maneuver on rocky terrain. Guanacos measure in at 43-45 inches tall at the shoulders, or less than 4 feet. (Arkive) This camelid can weigh up to 265 pounds. (San Diego Zoo) Behavior: Guanacos tend to live in herds or social groups throughout the Range & Habitat: year. During the breeding season the groups are broken up into family groups, Found in desert grassland, pampas, male groups, and small solitary male groups. The family groups consist of one shrubland, and forest, the guanaco male with several females and young. In winter, females may leave to form can be found at elevations up to female herds or they may remain in large mixed-sex herds of 500 individuals. 13,000 feet. They have a large range Guanacos communicate visually and through vocalizations, especially alarm from north of Peru to southern calls to warn of danger. Odor is also important for the males to mark their Chile, including Argentina, Bolivia territory with dung piles. The males use their enlarged canines to chase, bite, and Paraguay.

  • 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).
