Puno: Calves of alpacas born through controlled breeding campaign in Ajoyani identified

Within the framework of actions aimed at strengthening livestock activity and improving the genetic quality of South American camelids, the District Municipality of Ajoyani (Puno), through the Camelids project, carried out the identification of crias born as a result of the controlled mating campaign of alpacas at the municipal farm Los Ángeles. During the event, the technical team of the Camelids project, led by the project resident, Méd. Vet. Zoot. Oscar Velarde Coyto, along with agricultural technicians, carried out the process of individual identification of the crias. This activity allows for an adequate sanitary, productive, and genealogical record, ensuring efficient technical management and rigorous control of the reproduction of camelids. Controlled mating constitutes a fundamental strategy to improve genetic quality, reduce inbreeding, and optimize reproductive indices, which allows for obtaining crias with better productive characteristics and generating greater ...
