  • Los Camélidos Sudamericanos

    Los Camélidos Sudamericanos

    Investigaciones en carne de llama LOS CAMÉLIDOS SUDAMERICANOS Celso Ayala Vargas1 El origen de los camélidos La teoría del origen de los camélidos, indica que se originaron en América del Norte hace unos 50 millones de años. Sus antepasados dieron lugar al Poebrotherium, que era del tamaño de una oveja y proliferaba alrededor de 30 millones de años. En el Mioceno, ocurren cambios morfológicos en los camélidos, quienes aumentan de tamaño y se adaptan al tipo de alimento más rústico, desarrollando el hábito del pastoreo itinerante, el cual se convierte en el medio más adecuado para la migración a través de las estepas en expansión. Hace unos cinco millones de años un grupo de camélidos avanzan hacia América del Sur y otros a través del estrecho de Bering rumbo al Asia. La evolución posterior de esta especie produjo dos géneros distintos: El Género Lama, que actualmente es nativa a lo largo de los Andes, se divide en 4 especies Lama glama (Llama), Lama pacus (alpaca), Lama guanicoe (guanaco), Vicugna vicugna (vicuña) (Cardozo, 1975) estos dos últimos en estado silvestre, y por otra parte el género Camelus, dromedarios y camellos migran al África y el Asia Central. Investigaciones arqueológicas permiten conocer ahora; que las primeras ocupaciones humanas en los Andes fueron entre 20.000 a 10.000 años y la utilización primaria de los camélidos sudamericanos (CSA) se inicia alrededor de 5.500 años. La cultura de Tiahuanaco fue la que sobresalió significativamente en la producción de llamas y alpacas (4200 a 1500 a.c.), gracias a las posibilidades ganaderas de la región, esta cultura tuvo posesión abundante de fibra y también de carne (Cardozo, 1975).

At present, there is little information on the maintenance practices for South American camelids in Germany and on the level of knowledge of animal owners. To gain an overview of the number of animals kept, the farming methods and management practices in alpaca and llama populations, as well as to obtain information on common population problems, a survey was conducted among owners of South American camelids. The findings can help prepare veterinarians for herd visits and serve as a basis for the discussion of current problems in South American camelid husbandry. Abstract: An online survey of llama and alpaca owners was used to collect data on the population, husbandry, feeding, management measures and health problems. A total of 255 questionnaires were evaluated. In total, 55.1% of the owners had started keeping South American camelids within the Citation: Neubert, S.; von Altrock, last six years.
