How did 700 alpacas come to China from Australia?

On June 6th, it was reported that a Boeing 747-400 cargo plane loaded with 700 alpacas flew from chartered flight to Taiyuan Wusu International Airport.

After passing the on-site quarantine by Shanxi Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the alpaca was transported to Jinzhong Quarantine Station in Shanxi Province for quarantine. This is the largest number of alpacas imported by China from Australia so far, breaking the single record of alpacas imported from China.

On the 6th, after chartered flight arrived at Wusu Airport in Taiyuan, according to the relevant quarantine regulations in China, the staff of Shanxi Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau boarded the plane to carry out on-site quarantine, check the quarantine certificate, check the running log, count the number of animals, carry out clinical examination on 700 alpacas one by one, and quarantine and disinfect the vehicles. The white, brown and black alpacas are kept in wooden boxes, with various numbers hanging on their ears and moist eyes, which are very cute. The scene was filled with a strong smell of sheep manure. A staff member said: "It's still winter in Australia, and alpaca's hair is thicker. A few days ago, I was worried that the weather in Taiyuan was too hot for alpacas to eat. I didn't expect it to rain these two days, and the temperature was just right. "

It is understood that the Huacayo alpaca imported from Australia this time is the main alpaca variety in the world, with a value of more than 6,543,800 yuan. These 700 alpacas were selected by experts in the field of alpaca research in China from the largest alpaca farm in Australia, with excellent appearance standards and solid colors. Most of them are descendants of the winners of Australian alpaca competitions over the years, with excellent genetic background, ensuring that their bred offspring are healthy without genetic diseases, strong disease resistance, healthy body shape, good production performance, high ornamental value and good economic benefits and cost performance. All healthy and qualified alpacas will be settled in Taiyuan, which will be mainly used to optimize the alpaca population in China, promote large-scale farming and carry out related scientific research.
