Checking your Alpaca for Intestinal Parasites

topic posted Thu, December 2, 2004 - 3:48 PM by  barnaby
I found this advice extremely helpful for my Alpaca farm. Intestinal parasites are the second-leading cause of illness for North American alpacas.

1) Purchase elbow-length utility gloves
2) Acquire a large can of water-based lubricant
3) Be sure your alpaca has not eaten in the last 24 hours
