Reproduction in South American Camelids
All camelids (including the Bactrian [2 humps] and Dromedary [1 hump] old world camels) have a diploid number of 74 chromosomes. Interbreeding can occur between any of these species, producing fertile offspring. In llama and alpaca are occasionally interbred, producing an animal with longer but coarser fibre length than Alpaca. These are known as Huarizo. Using artificial insemination between o...
متن کاملMotility and recovery of alpaca (Vicugna pacos) spermatozoa after centrifugation in a density gradient solution
Background: One of the factors limiting successful processing of alpaca (Vicugna pacos) semen is the viscosity of seminal plasma. The viscous nature of the collected ejaculate has hindered sperm cryopreservation as well as artificial insemination (AI) under field conditions. Aims: The objective of this investigation was to evaluate recovery, motility, ...
متن کاملArtificial insemination in South American camelids and wild equids.
An overview of the present status of the use of artificial insemination (AI) in South American camelids and wild equids is offered. Technical aspects of semen collection, dilution and cryopreservation have limited the development and use of AI in camelid and equid species. To-date, efficiency is low but progress has been made and viable offspring have been produced through the use of AI in dome...
متن کاملSemen preservation and artificial insemination in domesticated South American camelids.
Semen preservation and artificial insemination in South American camelids are reviewed giving emphasis to work done in Peru and by the authors. Reports on semen evaluation and the preservation process indicate that semen of alpacas and llamas can be manipulated by making it liquid first. Collagenase appears to be the best enzyme to eliminate viscosity. Tris buffer solution maintains a higher mo...
متن کاملReproductive aspects and storage of semen in camelidae.
The characteristics of male and female reproductive tracts and reproductive physiology in camelids are described. An account is given on methods of collection, characteristics and storage of semen, and fertility after artificial insemination (AI) with fresh, liquid-stored and frozen-thawed lamoid and camel semen.
