Abstract
Pregnancy diagnosis is important for facilitating herd management in alpaca and llama herds. Up to 15% of pregnancy diagnoses based on behavioural non-receptivity to the male are inaccurate and this could result in significant cost implications for the breeder. Correct pregnancy diagnosis facilitates planning for optimal nutritional and herd health management, it proves sire fertility and identifies sub-fertile females for investigation. Herds should develop a programme for monitoring pregnancy and fetal wellbeing. Ultrasonography is a readily available tool and should be used to confirm behavioural indications of pregnancy.
