Fiber quality and fertility in male alpacas in the Cusco region of Peru
These results suggest that careful selection of breeding individuals and attention to husbandry could result in improved fiber quality among alpaca herds in Peru. However, it would be advisable to increase the number of males studied, using more reliable methods for evaluating male fertility and pregnancy diagnosis than were available for this study.
