Alpaca Health and Care
Of the many excellent books available, I consider the following to be essential and "must haves" for alpaca owner breeder's:
The ALPACA Field Manual C. Norman Evans, D.V.M.
If you own and breed alpacas and only have one book in your library, this must be it. Expect this book to become dog-eared and worn...if it doesn't, you are not using it the way it is meant to be used!
Llama and Alpaca Neonatal Care B Smith, K Timm, P Long
A "must have" if you intend to breed alpacas. Basic information presented in a straight-forward, easy to understand manner.
Personal note: if you intend to have cria born on your ranch, please attend a neonatal clinic.....for your peace of mind and the health and safety of your alpacas.
