Where does alpaca fit in our country?

As a camelid living in South America, alpacas have been introduced to many countries and regions due to their excellent adaptability and economic value. .

1. Highly adaptable desert areas

Alpacas are animals that live on the prairie of South America and have very strong adaptability. Alpacas are naturally adapted to hot and arid environments and can tolerate high temperatures and lack of water, so they are considered one of the most suitable livestock in deserts and plateau areas. If placed in some desertified and arid areas in the north for livestock raising, it will have a high effect on the local ecological environment and dryland agriculture and even increase the income of the poor.

2. Perennial low-temperature areas rich in grassland resources

Alpacas also have high adaptability to environments such as grasslands and can adapt to barren, low-temperature alpine grasslands. In northern China, due to climatic conditions, agricultural production is very scarce in many areas. The introduction of alpaca breeding will boost the local animal husbandry and bring certain economic benefits.

3. Mountainous and barren areas

Because alpacas are herbivores, they are suitable for grazing in mountainous areas with cold climate and lack of plant resources. They are also suitable for grazing in areas with poor ecological environment. While introducing alpacas, it can also promote local development and increase the income of surrounding residents through animal husbandry, agriculture and other industries.

At the same time, the introduction of alpacas can also increase the income of local residents and assist their development.
