Feeding Management and Disease Prevention in Alpaca Growing Period

The alpaca in the breeding period needs a relatively large amount of water, and it should ensure that it is adequate and clean.

On the basis of grazing and feeding of roughage, corn, cardamom, bran, etc. are formulated for feeding.

The recommended feed formula is: corn 60%, soybean meal 22%, bran 16%, bone meal 1%, salt 0.5%,

Multi-vitamins 0.08%, trace elements 0.1%, sodium selenite VE powder 0.25%, vitamin AD 30.07%.

In the alpaca breeding period, the amount of each concentrate feed per day is 0.5 to 0.7 kg, twice a day, and the amount of roughage fed is 1.6 to 1.7 kg, which is fed 4 times a day.

Alpaca daily management technology

Numbering

The numbering of alpaca can be selected and matched as planned, and inbreeding can also be avoided. Therefore, numbering is an indispensable management item in alpaca breeding and management.

The numbering method is commonly used ear tag method. The ear tag is usually made of aluminum or plastic. Before the placement, a round hole can be punched on the sheep's ear with special ear clamps, and the ear tag can be buckled.

When numbering, be careful to avoid blood vessels and disinfect with iodine in the place where you will be drilling.

Immunization

Immunization is a means of autoimmune alpaca, and it is also an important measure to prevent and control infectious diseases.

You can use foot-and-mouth disease type O, Asia type I bivalent inactivated vaccine for intramuscular injection at a dose of 1 ml per alpaca, once in spring and autumn, to prevent the occurrence and spread of foot-and-mouth disease.

Regularly deworming

There are three kinds of deworming methods, that is, medicine bath, taking deworming medicine and injection repelling needle.

Medicated bath

In order to better protect the alpaca gold and your hair, do not let the parasite and it "climb the pro", absorb nutrients in the hair, reduce the quality of the hair, you need to regularly give it a medicine bath to reduce the parasite's harm.

Under normal circumstances, the spring and autumn seasons must be washed, and other times can be determined according to the farming conditions. It is not an easy task to take medicine baths for alpaca. Only four or five people can fix it.

Before taking a bath, you must first prepare the medicine. The drug is mainly trichlorfon that can drive off various parasites. The tablets should be powdered directly and transferred to water in a 1% ratio. This water temperature should not be too low. Keep it at around 40 degrees to prevent the alpacas from catching a cold.

The alpaca medicated bath segment mainly includes the neck, body and limbs, and the drug and bath method are the same.

In the middle of the medicinal bath, it is necessary to continue rubbing on the alpaca body by hand, rubbing the medicine into the hair root of the alpaca as much as possible to allow the medicine to fully kill the parasites in the hair.

It should be noted that the speed of the medicine bath is faster, generally within 20-30 minutes. Because the alpaca is susceptible to stress during the wash process.

Taking an anthelmintic

The anthelmintics used for alpaca are mainly anthelmintic tablets such as ambroxol imidazole tablets and levamisole, which can be used as an aliquot of 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

In general, take it once every 30 days.

Injection repellent needle

The alpaca can be injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously at a dose of 0.5 ml per 25 kg body weight with a long-lasting anthelmintic injection such as ivermectin injection.

Change ground mats

When the weather is cold and the ground is wet, soft mats should be placed on the floor of the alpacas. In order to prevent moisture, it is also necessary to change from regular to dry, keep it dry and clean.

Sand bath

The reason why the quality of alpaca is much better than that of wool. Part of the reason is that the fibers of alpaca are finer, more elastic and more resilient than wool. When the alpaca's body is tangled with some sting, they will entanglement the alpaca's hair and reduce the hair's elasticity and toughness. By washing the sand bath with alpaca, you can wash away these debris. Therefore, to use the alpaca love to wash sand bath habits, give them a proper amount of sand, let them bathe. This will not only satisfy the nature of the alpaca's love to wash sand, but also wash away those debris.

In order for the alpacas to wash clean sand every day, managers also often need to clean the sand. In general, it can be cleaned in the evening.

Prevent Camelmere Pollution

External pollution is the main way of causing alpaca villus pollution, and grass clippings, dust, feces, etc. may all have an impact.

Therefore, there should be someone responsible for clearing the pens every day and cutting off the sources of pollution as much as possible.

At the same time, you can use the characteristics of alpaca to defecate, collect the excrement of the alpacas into a heap, so that they form a good fixed-point discharge habits to prevent them from spreading, and also prevent the faeces from sticking to the body and affecting the quality of the pile.

It is also worth noting that the cigarette should not be drawn into the alpaca, because the synthetic fibers in the cigarette butts look the same as the alpaca, but they cannot be dyed, which will greatly reduce the purity of the hair.

shearing

Alpacas need shearing once a year.

The preparation before shearing is very important for the smooth cutting of alpaca. The carding is an indispensable part, that is, combing the alpaca's fluff to prevent tangles.

When shearing, it is necessary to use a special shearing shear to cut the hair. During the shearing process, the alpaca skin should be tightened so as not to cut its skin.

After shearing hair, it is necessary to make alpaca hair storage. Put the camel hair into the prepared package, put a layer of pad paper on each layer of alpaca, and place insecticides in the package, but not directly with the alpaca. Mixed hair, should be wrapped in paper and then put in order to prevent discoloration of the alpaca hair.

Disease prevention and treatment

disinfection

In order to prevent the invasion of the disease, vehicles and workers entering the alpaca breeding site must be disinfected.

A disinfecting pool can be set up at the entrance of the alpaca breeding grounds, with a depth of 15 cm to 20 cm and regular addition of 5% sodium hydroxide.

To disinfect the alpaca house on a regular basis, you can use 2% sodium hydroxide solution, spray the alpaca house, and leave the playground.

Daily cleaning

Inside and outside the alpaca enclosure should be cleaned regularly, do not feed moldy feed, feed, timely cleaning of feed trough and sink.

disease

Alpacas generally do not have any major illnesses. However, it may produce acidosis due to feed or feeding problems. The most effective way to prevent this disease is to limit the amount of concentrate feed.

For alpaca that is in urgent need of replenishment of concentrated feed, it is necessary to add 2% sodium bicarbonate to the total amount of concentrated feed in the daily feed.

Alpacas where symptoms of poisoning have occurred can be intravenously injected with 5% sodium bicarbonate injection 10-20 ml to relieve acidosis.

In addition, if the alpacas appear indigestion, intramuscular injections of 50-100 mg per dose of vitamin B1 can be used.

Alpaca breeding has a broad prospect, as long as you according to the living habits of alpacas, according to scientific methods of breeding, will certainly achieve good economic benefits.
