Feeding part 2



Conservation of grassland
It is a technique for periods of shortage herders using various strategies.
the reserves of natural seagrass is one of the ways to keep fresh food for times of drought when natural pastures are scarce. These places are called "cabins", located at higher elevations of each of the sectors of communities. It makes use of these reserves from August to May next year. This knowledge is directly related to the rotation of grazing.

Feeding part 1


Hi all, I want to talk now about a topic complementary animal husbandry and focused especially for South American camelids.



The first issue we will talk of grazing:
Grazing is the predominant activity on which the daily gitra breeders of alpacas. Within the Andean families, is predominant wife and small children (mostly women) are engaged in feeding.
The llamas are usually performed in conjunction with sheep, but preferably is made separately. You are required to be separated by sex and alpacas from the flames (to avoid crossing Huarizo which is not suitable for production)

Rotational grazing:
It is knowledge that has to do with the management of natural prairie grasses in which, in turn, is regulated by the rainy season and drought. The rotation of grazing livestock feeding ensures communities (which have large areas of grasslands with native grasses) and for this reason, in times of rains herds of alpacas and other livestock are moved to the huts, in the times of no rain to consume the grasses that grow below.
