Alpacas - Frequently asked questions
Alpacas are native to the Andes in South America. ABQ Alpacas export live alpacas for breeding and fleece from Chile and Peru to Europe.
9. Alpaca hygiene.
Alpacas are very tidy animals. They normally defecate in the one
place sometimes walking a distance to do this. The waste can be
collected and placed in a compost pile where it makes excellent
garden fertilizer or alternatively spread onto the pastures as a
natural fertiliser.
10. Farming requirements barns/shelter.
Although the alpacas are accustomed to the cold of the Andes,
depending on your location barns or very good natural shelter may be needed as protection from the severe winter storms. This is very important for Crias during the week after birth. Alpacas are accustomed to the cold weather of the Andes Mountains. Many breeders there have shelter for the new born crias, especially during the first few days of their life. Their fibre provides excellent insulation and protection from the cold. Some shade protection is also important during the heat of the mid summer months.
