Determinacion del Perfil Proteico y Presencia de Anticuerpos en el Plasma Seminal de Llama
- Lopes, Francisco Flores
At an international level, Bolivia possesses the largest population of llamas followed by Peru. This makes our country a power, in this renewable resource, to create and generate economic development primarily for the quality of llama meat which has nutritional properties superior to other species of animals used for food. The development of the investigation of llamas in our country has not been very far-reaching. In other countries, advances have been made for quite some time, specifically in the area of reproduction, which presents problems in bringing about an intensive repopulation due to the unique characteristics of llama copulation and...

($5 million).
For an industry operating on a low profit margin,
losses due to predation have resulted not only in
reduced revenue for the producer, but also in
higher prices paid by the consumer for meat and
wool products. Predation is a real problem with a
major impact on the sheep industry. It is a critical
issue with both economic and ethical
implications to wildlife management, the
livestock industry, and the general public.

Determinación de la composición botánica y química de la dieta seleccionada por la llama (Lama glama) en pastoreo durante la epoca lluviosa en la Comunidad Pujrata
- Achu Nina, Cristóbal
Llamas (Lama glama) take advantage of poor natural forage (grasses and others) due to their efficient digestive physiology that is adapted for this type of forage. The problem now faced is the gradual exhaustion of the native grassland (low phytomass production). The vegetation does not cover the dry matter consumption requirements, and less so the nutrient requirements, of these animals. Because of this there is the necessity of determining the botanical composition, pasture selection by plant parts, and chemical composition of what llamas ingest in order to improve these animals' nutrition in the pasture. This study occurred at the Larqa...
