Neonatal care of llamas and alpacas - a review
At the time of birth, newborn llamas and alpacas present in the anterior longitudinal presentation and dorso-sacral position with the head resting on the metacarpal bones of the extended forelegs. The newborn (called a cria) stands very soon to suckle colostrum within the first 2 hours, and may suckle up to 10 times per day during the first seven days of life. Colostrum is only available for 3-4 days, but immunoglobulin absorption occurs only during the first 24 hours of life. Milk production reaches its peak by 2-3 weeks of lactation and then declines by the first month of lactation. Preweaning mortality is 20-80 % in South America, as opposed to 2-5 % in developed countries. The most common diagnoses of neonatal llamas and alpacas are systemic inflammations, congenital defects, sepsis, gastrointestinal diseases, and others
