Abstract
  • Reproductive physiology of South American camelids is unique, especially in comparison to other domestic animals. For example, mating occurs in a recumbent position over a period of approximately 30 minutes. Males are dribble ejaculators, and the camelid ejaculate is highly viscous making it nearly impossible to work with in vitro. However, compared to other domestic animal species, there is limited information known about camelid reproduction. We sought to increase knowledge about reproductive conditions in llamas and alpacas. This thesis research focused on three areas of male camelid reproduction including: (1) collection of semen using pharmacologic methods, (2) comparing extenders used for sperm cryopreservation, and (3) changes in serum testosterone concentration following human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation, and after castration. In addition, an unusual cause of congenital infertility in a female alpaca was described.
