PRESIDENT’S REPORT JUST A WORD OR TWO……... AAA SA President’s Report – August 2013 Notion for these ramblings – The Alpaca “Industry” ... ?? In light of a flurry of recent media reports about the expanding scope of the use of alpaca in this country, are we now approaching the point where we can truly regard our obsession with these enchanting animals as an “industry” ... ?? While many of our members are delighted to work with their alpacas as breeding stock, lawn mowers, fleece manufacturers, pets and providers of great delight and unique ornamental appeal in our paddocks, there are some who are exploring other uses, including innovative breeding techniques, export of stud animals, emerging pelt and meat opportunities. While we each choose our level of involvement with alpaca, it has been refreshing to witness an acceptance that others are able to also choose their preferred aspects of the “industry”, in which to be involved. From the perspective of Australian Alpaca Association, I am cognisant that as your elected representatives, your committee will endeavour to be appraised of all developments within the industry, in order that we can effectively advocate on your behalf, should the need arise. This moment of reflection has coincided with the driving wind and rain that has lashed the paddocks and we are eagerly awaiting the imminent spring ... The financial year is over, the almond blossom festival is packed away for next year ... spring must almost be here .... surely... The first of the South Australian spring shows has also passed into history. Congratulations to James Wheeler and his team for their hard work to ensure another successful Colour Classic Show. This year saw this popular show in a new venue at Strathalbyn – a welcome shelter from the blustery conditions for the Saturday. By all accounts, this was a great venue and the show was enjoyed by many happy exhibitors. We were indeed fortunate to have Peter Kennedy from Canchones Alpacas as the judge, ably assisted by the new apprentice judge Dean Ford, from Vista del Sud Alpacas. Sincere thanks to them both, for a complex task undertaken with aplomb. Congratulations to all those who exhibited at Colour Classic – it was a vision splendid to walk into the venue and the display of ribbons across so many pens shows the breadth and depth of talent – well done to all. (A full list of results from Colour Classic appears later in this edition of Read n Breed.) The regional Annual Meeting was held on the Saturday of the Colour Classic Show. Many thanks to the many who chose to contribute their time and attention to the matters of the meeting. It was a brief meeting (as all good meetings are) and I am happy to report that last year’s committee has agreed to continue in their current roles for the region. The executive remains unchanged, but we have regretfully, bid farewell to Julianne Buckley from Buckley Estate Alpacas. Julianne has pressing commitments in other parts of her very busy life, which do not permit her to continue with the regional committee. I am sure you will all join me in extending sincere thanks and appreciation for her contribution and the wise council she contributed to our deliberations. The region is also indebted to Julianne for the ongoing support of the printing and publishing of our regional newsletter, the “Read n Breed”, which she arranges with the generous sponsorship of Konica Minolta. No matter your choice of involvement in our wonderful industry, there are always opportunities for you to contribute to the wider alpaca community. Please consider how you may be involved in any of the region’s activities, forums, education events and workshops – we are as rich as the members who contribute, and we look forward to sharing your experience and perspective.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

As spring draws near, it prompts a timely reminder that our annual shearing is fast approaching. It is time to reflect on our practices and carefully consider how to best set up for the job of harvesting our valuable commodity – alpaca fleece. No matter how or where you find a market for your fleece, the resounding message seems to be the need to ensure high standards of handling, classing and cleaning in order that each fleece can attract its maximum value. There are a number of options to secure a market for your fleece and we will endeavour to provide information about these options as they become available. Referring again to the notion of an “Alpaca Industry” (as opposed to a cottage industry), a range of suppliers seeking sustainable quantities of quality fleece will be the hallmark of our fleece industry, moving forward. There are signs that this is not the distant future, but is at hand, for those willing to impose strict disciplines on their shearing and fleece handling protocols, in order to secure a sustainable fleece future. We look forward to learning how this has been achieved and to sharing the experience and insights that will allow us all to move to this sustainable future... Spring also brings a flurry of shows to the calendar, in the lead up to shearing. In South Australia, we will have the Royal Adelaide Show (6th to 9th September), Strathalbyn Show (7th October) and Clare Show (19th October). There are a coterie of interstate shows, including the National Show and Sale being held in Bendigo this year (9th to 14th October). Best wishes to all those who will be taking their alpacas to the shows – especially those who are making the trek interstate. From those of us who tend to be based we in South Australia, we delight in hearing of your successes – fly the flag for us all. Please join with me in extending my sincere thanks again to the regional committee for their tireless efforts, as they explore how best to represent your needs and to provide resources and support for your alpaca endeavours. Best wishes, Greg Scarlett

MARKETING Marketing News Colour Classic The venue and show itself have already received the well deserved compliments elsewhere in this issue of ReadnBreed, however from a marketing perspective, congratulations to the CC team for the way they were able to secure outside sponsorship and support from the local business community. Not only was there a financial benefit, but a significant amount of local products ensuring nearly everyone (except the writer) received a prize in the raffle. It was also good to see a number of the general public visit over the two days and engage in conversation with our breeders.

National Alpaca Week 2014 In light of the National Conference next year, please note the dates for NAW next year are being looked at to ensure there is no conflict between the two events. We expect a change of date, if any, will only be very minor. We will confirm dates as soon as we are advised by National Office.

Royal Adelaide Show Planning is well underway for the trade stand at this year’s show and as advised in an earlier email, we are expanding the content of the display to include samples of the end product of the total industry. This is planned to include details about the animals themselves, fleeces, spinning, felting, alpaca related merchandise sold by members and the emerging meat component of our industry. Please note the stand is an information facility only and we are not permitted to sell any product from the stand. Thank you to those members who have already donated product samples for inclusion in the display. Thank you also to those of you who have volunteered to staff the stand during the show. Your time promoting the alpaca industry is of great benefit to all our members and we trust you will be able to promote your own business in the process. At time of writing, there are still a few shifts remaining, so if you are able to help, that would be much appreciated.

TREASURER’S REPORT Treasurers Report - end of financial year June 2013 The AAA SA region MYOB data is reconciled to the latest bank statement of June 30th 2013.

The investment account had a balance of $ 17,668.00 The general cheque account had a balance of $ 9,880.73 Income into the general cheque account so far this financial year has totaled $ 47,164.09. Most of this income is received from the member capitation rebate, merchandise (including the old pen panel sales), alpaca show income, advertising, and the WFI commission.

Expenses from the general cheque account this financial year have totaled $ 37,327.13. Our main expenses have included the purchase of a shipping container to store SA region equipment, materials for the new lightweight pen panels and alpaca show expenses. Other expenses include region meeting and newsletter office supplies, region catering, trailer insurance, website hosting, National Alpaca Week venue hire, advertising and panel transport, the Jodie Christian memorial trophy, Junior Judging and fleece collection costs.

We have recorded a net profit in the cheque account of $ 9,836.96.

In summary the region is currently in a sound financial position, primarily due to -

Income derived this year from the old pen panel sales. We acknowledge with huge thanks the role Derrick Hall has played in donating countless hours for the manufacture of both the old and new panels. The enormous generosity of Konica Minolta through Julianne Buckley, printing the SA region magazine at no cost.

Thanks also to past treasurer Wendy Jones teaching me the basics of the MYOB accounting program, and the support of Janette Law from the AAA head office facilitating direct EFT bank transfers for payment of approved accounts. I would encourage all supplier invoices and AAA SA region reimbursement forms to be presented with EFT bank transfer details to enable faster payment than the alternative method of counter signing cheques.

From a Vet’s perspective............... Caring for your Animals in these colder months Rain, sleet, snow, ice, freezing temperatures - winter can be a real struggle for two- or four-legged animals. Those of us with two legs can generally put on a warmer coat or go inside to warm up with a cup of something hot, but what can livestock owners do to keep animals healthy and comfortable in winter? WATER The necessity of a clean and reliable year-round source of water cannot be overemphasized. Generally animals don’t drink enough water in the colder months and may require salts added to their diet to encourage adequate drinking. Ensuring adequate water intake will encourage optimal health and performance of livestock and help prevent serious conditions such as colic and impactions. ENERGY REQUIREMENTS Livestock’s maintenance nutritional requirements can increase significantly during cold weather. Requirements increase dramatically if animals become wet and/or there is appreciable wind. Lowest critical environmental temperatures (LCT) for livestock vary according to species and researchers, but 20° C is often used as the lowest temperature dry livestock can tolerate without additional energy demands to support normal body temperature. Energy requirements for an animal with a healthy and dry winter coat increase by one percent for every degree the wind chill temperature falls below the LCT. Energy requirements for an animal with a wet coat increase by two percent for every degree drop in the wind chill temperature. Energy can be provided through grain or additional roughage (hay). Roughage is generally preferable due to its feeding safety, lower cost and greater heat released during digestion. The bacterial breakdown of roughage in the rumen and in the horse's cecum creates heat, so increase hay during colder-than-normal weather. Grain supplementation rates will vary with species, and exercise regimes. Some cold and wet weather conditions can result in predictions that livestock will need close to a 100% increase in energy requiremets to help them maintain normal body temperature and functions, but such a large, sudden and short-term increase in energy intake is not healthy for most animals. All dietary changes, be they increases or decreases, should be made gradually. Although dietary energy increases are necessary during bad weather, a better body condition helps insulate livestock and will fare better if they have sufficient body condition to call upon during times of need. Ensuring they have this adequate body condition before the cold sets in is wise. Body condition scoring requires hands-on assessment of animals, feeling along their spine for sufficient body mass. Horses can be rugged to retain body heat for individual animals. Regularly look beneath the rug to inspect their body condition. Similarly animals with a fleece; alpacas and sheep, can often disguise their body condition to look better than it is. Body condition scores of livestock in the winter should be three or four on this scale.

-body condition score 1

-body condition score 3

FEEDING With daily hand feeding, managers will have a better sense of individual animal’s health, appetite, and adequate requirements met. Feeding big bales to a group of animals once a day or even less often saves labor, but individual animal health can be overlooked. Pregnant, young and elderly animals are an important group to feed separately. Failing to meet their nutritional needs may result in stunted animals, poor milk production, abortions, weakness and or death. Animals kept on pasture alone, may not get sufficient supplies, just because the paddocks are green, doesn’t mean they are meeting adequate nutritional needs for the cold conditions. Teeth still need to be checked to maintain normal eating and digestion requirements.

SHELTER Shelter is another obvious winter livestock management concern. Animals do not necessarily need or want to live in an enclosed shed/barn every day in the winter and are not practical for large herds of animals such as beef cattle. Protection from wind and rain will decrease energy requirements and feed costs and increase animal comfort. Three-sided sheds, hills and trees can all serve as adequate breaks from the prevailing winds, and checking stock after a storm is recommended. If animals do not have enough space and variety of landscape to select a spot protected from the elements, a shelter should be provided. If a structure is provided, be sure to keep the bedding dry and as clean as possible. Bedding helps insulate animals from the cold ground. However, in bedding soiled with animal wastes, ammonia fumes can build up quickly in the lower 40cm where recumbent animals breathe; irritated respiratory lining is then very susceptible to pneumonia causing bacteria and viruses. Provide good ventilation so the air seems fresh, but do not permit drafts in the structure.

MUD MANAGEMENT All too often, where there are animals in the winter, there is mud. With good management and planning, the negative environmental and animal health impacts of mud can be minimized. Mud is most commonly found where animals are forced or choose to congregate. Mud makes foot and hoof diseases such as seedy toe, foot abscesses, greasy heel, skin conditions and thrush more likely and it causes animals to be perpetually chilled. The wetness of mud can make parasite survival more likely as well. Also consider older livestock that are not so sure footed with slippery sloping hills sides, that may become cast and not be able to get up.

Animal health & husbandry A look into Suri Alpacas Part 2 What to look for in a Suri Although a suri looks very different from the more common huacaya, the conformational traits to look out for are generally the same. The animal should be well proportioned, have straight legs and back, a rounded rump and correct bite. The ears may be slightly longer and the muzzle shorter than a huacaya. Conformation As outlined in the AAA Breed Standard ·

well grown (doesn't affect the genetics but will increase fertility, reproduction, health)

·

straight back

·

straight tail

·

animal in proportion - back, legs, neck in proportion.

·

teeth

·

size and conformity of testicles in male

Fleece As outlined in the AAA Breed Standard the characteristics of the fleece are what distinguish the suri. When assessing a suri, you should look for the following. ·

lustre

·

fineness

·

density

·

handle

·

length

·

locking

·

colour integrity

Lustre - perhaps the single most important characteristic of suri fibre, lustre is the shine inherent to the most exquisite fleeces open up a fleece to assess the lustre next to the skin. Lustre is influenced by consistency of colour and micron of the fleece, as well as the structure of the fibre (i.e. the more spherical the fibre is, the more it will reflect light). It can also be influenced by dirt and dust. Although there are a lot of variables, including genetic influencers, because white (and often black) animals are a consistent colour, they usually have greater lustre than coloured animals. Use a subjective score of 5 (no lustre) to 1 (extreme lustre) to assess animals against each other. The more animals you assess, the better you will get at making this subjective measurement. Remember though, that environmental impacts, such as nutrition, dust in the fleece and illness or stress can impact on lustre. Fineness - the finer the fleece, the softer and more lustrous it is and the higher its price. In Peru, fibre of different classes is mixed together for processing. Some believe this gives Australia an opportunity to develop a world market in superfine suri. The current AAFL classes for fineness are: Continued Overleaf

S4 (strong)

28-32 micron

S5 (extra strong)

Fineness should be uniform over the body of the animal from the neck through the body to the rump. Assessment of fineness can be done visually (this takes some practice) or using a fibre testing laboratory (the output of which is a detailed report and histogram showing distribution of fibre micron in the sample). To assess fineness visually, take a sample of fleece (it is often a good idea to do this on a number of different sites on the animal - shoulder, midside and rump), spread the fibres into a spider web and lay against a dark background for light fibres or light background for dark fibres. You should be able to see the fineness of the fibres, as well as any coarser fibres or guard hairs in the sample.

Laboratory analysis will provide a significant amount of information on the sample analysed (either a midside sample or an all-over fleece grid sample). The histogram will indicate the uniformity of the micron. A coefficient of variation (CV) should be less than 20% to indicate consistency of micron. Remember there will be some variation of results between different labs, different measurement machines used, inconsistencies in sampling, etc., so beware of using histogram results as absolutes. Suris naturally have less medullation than huacayas, but this is something to look for when assessing an animal or a fleece. While some medullated (or hollow) fibres are acceptable in a fleece, the coarse medullated fibres called guard hairs cause problems in processing and increase the prickle factor of finished goods. To assess for medullated fibres, pull at the tip of a lock - the medullated fibres will be obvious as coarser and straight fibres sticking out the top. Lock 'architecture' - well-defined pencil locks which persist throughout the fleece (not just on the surface) and are evident right to the skin. These can be curled, twisted or waves, but must hang down in individual locks. While there are a variety of different lock styles, current research has identified four locking styles. These are:

Whatever the lock style, a good example of locking should be consistent over the animal, from forelock to tail and should continue for the whole length of the staple (from tip to skin). Often when the fleece becomes longer, the tight twist evident at the tip flattens into a fan-shape where it joins the skin. The best and more densely fleeced animals have tight locks right to the skin. Density - is important in regard to return for fleeces and it also helps keep out dust and vegetable matter. Density is difficult to determine on an animal, although grabbing and lifting the fibre will give an indication of the amount of fleece (number of fibres) and fleece weight (determined by length, micron and number of fibres in a handful) on an animal. The scientific method of determining density is to take a skin biopsy and determine the secondary to primary hair follicle ratios and number of hair follicles in a square millimetre of skin. Holt & Watts (2005) found that finer animals have a higher secondary to primary follicle ratio and greater follicle density. However, the breeder can identify dense animals by recording fleece weights and staple length at each shearing. Uniformity - the locking and fineness should be uniform over the body of the animal from the neck through the body to the rump and even extending down on the legs. When assessing an animal, open up and sample fibre from the shoulder, midside and rump. Also look at the forelock for medullation and locking and the tail (particularly important in previously shorn animals to assess locking. It is common for there to be differences in quality of locking style across the body or from one side of the animal to another, particularly in coloured animals. Remember to check the apron for coarse fibres and guard hairs. Coverage - the suri should be well covered, with a long forelock, fleece on cheeks and chin, the front and rear legs should be well covered with consistent locking to the toes. Colour - colour is personal choice; the whites and light fawns are more common (about 90% of Peruvian clip), but are generally of higher quality than the rarer coloured suris. Colour should be consistent across the body. Length - Suri fleece generally grows 10-16 cm per year (more in the first year and less as they age). The acceptable lengths for processing suri are:

Remember there will be some variation of results between different labs, different measurement machines used, inconsistencies in sampling, etc., so beware of using histogram results as absolutes. Suris naturally have less medullation than huacayas, but this is something to look for when assessing an animal or a fleece. While some medullated (or hollow) fibres are acceptable in a fleece, the coarse medullated fibres called guard hairs cause problems in processing and increase the prickle factor of finished goods. To assess for medullated fibres, pull at the tip of a lock - the medullated fibres will be obvious as coarser and straight fibres sticking out the top. Lock 'architecture' - well-defined pencil locks which persist throughout the fleece (not just on the surface) and are evident right to the skin. These can be curled, twisted or waves, but must hang down in individual locks. While there are a variety of different lock styles, current research has identified four locking styles. These are:

Whatever the lock style, a good example of locking should be consistent over the animal, from forelock to tail and should continue for the whole length of the staple (from tip to skin). Often when the fleece becomes longer, the tight twist evident at the tip flattens into a fan-shape where it joins the skin. The best and more densely fleeced animals have tight locks right to the skin. Density - is important in regard to return for fleeces and it also helps keep out dust and vegetable matter. Density is difficult to determine on an animal, although grabbing and lifting the fibre will give an indication of the amount of fleece (number of fibres) and fleece weight (determined by length, micron and number of fibres in a handful) on an animal. The scientific method of determining density is to take a skin biopsy and determine the secondary to primary hair follicle ratios and number of hair follicles in a square millimetre of skin. Holt & Watts (2005) found that finer animals have a higher secondary to primary follicle ratio and greater follicle density. However, the breeder can identify dense animals by recording fleece weights and staple length at each shearing. Uniformity - the locking and fineness should be uniform over the body of the animal from the neck through the body to the rump and even extending down on the legs. When assessing an animal, open up and sample fibre from the shoulder, midside and rump. Also look at the forelock for medullation and locking and the tail (particularly important in previously shorn animals to assess locking. It is common for there to be differences in quality of locking style across the body or from one side of the animal to another, particularly in coloured animals. Remember to check the apron for coarse fibres and guard hairs. Coverage - the suri should be well covered, with a long forelock, fleece on cheeks and chin, the front and rear legs should be well covered with consistent locking to the toes. Colour - colour is personal choice; the whites and light fawns are more common (about 90% of Peruvian clip), but are generally of higher quality than the rarer coloured suris. Colour should be consistent across the body.

Length - Suri fleece generally grows 10-16 cm per year (more in the first year and less as they age). The acceptable lengths for processing suri are: Class

Length

A/B

90-150 mm

AAFL is hoping to develop a use for suri fleece under 90mm but the quantity currently received is small and will take time to increase to a commercial quantity. Greater than 150 mm is overgrown and cannot be processed by AAFL at this time. However, there are some mini-mills and other small volume processors that can process these longer fibres. Length, in addition to micron and density, contributes to total fleece weight (and hence, value of the fleece) and so must be sidered in breeding decisions (as long as annual fleece growth is within the classes above).

con-

Applicability to the AGE Australian suri breeders are developing criteria to use in the Across-herd Genetic Evaluation (AGE) service for alpaca, which will allow evaluation of animals within a breeder's herd and assist in making breeding decisions by comparing estimated breeding values for stud sires. Easy care suri alpacas Alpacas are hardy and generally disease and parasite resistant. They require basic care comprising vaccinations every six months, occasional toenail and teeth trimming and annual shearing. They are very easy to herd and handle. Wave and twist ringlet

Twist ringlet

the staple twists around to form a ringlet which hangs straight down from the animal.

the twist ringlet also has a wave so that it does not hang perfectly straight.

Broad wave

Corkscrew

the staple forms a tight corkscrew-type wave (a more pronounced version of the wave & twist).

the staple forms a broad wave with less evidence of twist.

ABOUT ALPACA HALTERS With a new crop of weanlings in our paddocks and the Spring shows coming along, it is timely to refresh our understanding of halters and halter fitting. There are quite a few different halter styles on the market but not all of them are good for our alpacas. With a little time, and correct handling, most alpacas will train to lead quite easily, however, a badly designed or incorrectly fitted halter will cause problems for you and discomfort or panic for the animal.

Alpacas have a small head, particularly crias and weanlings. The nose bone is very short, followed by a section of cartilage and then the soft tissue of the nose itself. Many people place the noseband of the halter midway down the alpaca’s face, as you might with a horse. This is dangerous because it puts pressure on the cartilage or soft nasal tissue and can cause behavioural problems through distress to the animal.

Correct placement of the noseband is to rest it on the bony part of the nose, just below the eyes (like high on the bridge of your nose, where you would push a pair of glasses). The band should be neither too tight nor too loose around the nose. Correct placement of the crown piece (the strap which goes behind the ears to hold the halter in place) is behind and close to the base of the ears – not a hand span down the neck. Remember to adjust the crown piece so that it correctly holds the noseband at the safe place on the nose.

Cross-over noseband halters – a webbing version of these was been marketed by the AAA for many years. They are also available from other sources, sometimes in leather. They should NEVER be used to train an animal to lead. The noseband and throat-lash are one piece which crosses over under the jaw, like a figure-of-eight, passing through the leading ring. With the lead attached to the ring, any pressure pulls the ring forward and it acts like a slipknot, constricting the band over the nose and forward onto the soft tissue. This will constrict the animal’s breathing and cause it distress and panic. Basically, it is impossible to achieve a correct and safe fit of the noseband with this style of halter because of the ring mobility. These also must come in different sizes – NOTE a small halter with the headpiece let right out IS NOT correct or safe to use on a larger animal. Recommendation – if possible AVOID USE of this style of halter. If they must be used, only use on animals which are already well-trained to lead, use the correct size for the animal and adjust it as correctly as possible.

Fixed noseband halters – these will come in various sizes. Usually available in leather or webbing designs. As long as the noseband size is large enough to be comfortably placed in the correct position on the alpaca and the headpiece can be adjusted to correctly hold that place, these are quite safe to use. The noseband and throat-lash are separate pieces (although both pass through the leading ring) and therefore drag on the ring when leading cannot constrict the noseband’s diameter. Recommendation – use correct size and correct adjustment. Excellent halters.

Adjustable noseband halters – these can be adjusted at the noseband as well as the headpiece, therefore one size can be adjusted to fit all but the largest and smallest of alpacas. A safe and economical halter style. Usually available in leather or webbing designs. As with the fixed noseband halters, the noseband is separate to the throat-lash, both pass through the leading ring, and drag on the ring will not constrict the noseband’s

diameter. The ‘plus’ with these is that the noseband can be adjusted to fit large or small animals so you only need one halter size. Recommendation – adjust noseband for correct fit first, before adjusting the headpiece for correct fit. Fit individually for each animal. Excellent halters.

Cord and rope halters – some people like to use a type of colourful cotton rope halter designed for horses. These are very bulky, usually have a slip mechanism at the noseband, and are really not scaled for alpacas. Recommendation – not appropriate for alpacas and noseband not safe.

Another design of cord halter (Bungalook) has been widely marketed and used because some animals will lead with it but apparently not with other halter styles. The reason it works is because the pressure to lead forward is directed behind the animal’s head and not onto the nose. Animals may fail to lead with other halter types due to - dangerous halter design and / or incorrect fit plus inexperienced trainer. This cord style is safe when the correct size is used and it is fitted correctly. Recommendation – these can be used safely as suggested, but may not be necessary if the trainer really understands the mechanism of ‘leading’. If you do use this style, make sure you know how to smoothly fit and remove the halter before beginning to train the animal.

Collar – a few people actually reduce leading to the basic element. A collar of leather or webbing (like a dog collar) can be used but MUST placed high on the neck - roughly where the headpiece would fit behind the ears and round the gullet. Not too tight or loose. Correct leading response comes from pressure from that area – NOT from the noseband. Recommendation – probably not for the inexperienced as it does not give the directional control of a halter with noseband, but is less intrusive for the alpaca and many animals who are not destined for the show ring could be easily led in this manner. ************************** In conclusion, badly-designed or badly-fitted equipment can directly cause behavioural problems in your alpacas when training or leading them. Your own inexperience might also add to the problems you encounter. Take a step back and review the equipment you are currently using and how you go about the task… Your alpacas will be grateful !

MEMBERS STORIES/EMAILS Hello Sue, I hope this story and pictures might be of interest to you. Attached are pics of a cria with a make shift sunscreen hood. This pale skinned cria was diagnosed with sunburnt eyelids late last summer and the vet instructed us to keep him out of the sun. As we couldn't keep him and his mum in a stall or shade all day, I made this impromptu hood from shade cloth formed into a hood and attached to a small halter for stability. It worked a treat although it did take his mum a few days to get fully used to him with it on.

Close up of hood - and yes ! he managed to see and get about and to drink perfectly well once he got used to it - pretty quickly in fact !

The symptoms of the sunburn were squinting, watering eyes and inflamed conjunctiva, but with no sign of infection, ulceration or foreign body in the eyes. The lids themselves did not really look red or 'burned'. (I later had another cria show the same signs in one eye, and a makeshift eye patch cured the problem in a couple of days)

With this cria, Totem, he and his mum could be penned in full shade from 9am until about 1pm, then they had to be in sun, so the hood was required. It was removed in the evening each day and then replaced at 1pm the next day. He needed the hood on for about 8 days ?? and was then ok. He got very good about having it put on and taken off and has remained easy to handle because of the experience. Sunburn on crias' eyelids could be something for people to be aware of especially in summer. In retrospect, I believe that we have had a few cases of this over the years but have not identified it correctly. Cheers Denise Arcadian Alpaca’s
