This is a traditional method used by breeders of alpacas and llamas of the Andean regions. Is a form of breeding season, since the female contact with the male only during the time chosen.
In this method the female is tied with a rope to force her to remain seated and so it can be easily mounted by the male. They tied the hind legs, passing the rope over the back of the female, which is immobilized in a position to intercourse.
As the female is tied at the disposal of the male must take special care to assess their behavior and ensure that it is receptive the male. If the female is pregnant intercourse can result in abortion.
Each service receives a receptive female by the male. After being served, the female is exposed to male again two weeks later. The rejection or acceptance in this instance will be an indication of whether or not the female conceived. If you accept, is allowed to receive other services. Exposure of females to males every two weeks should continue for the duration of the breeding season in order to become pregnant than those who have not conceived or having undergone embryonic loss.
The females served by the male, it is advisable to repeat the service for two or three days. This practice can be counterproductive.
