Alpaca Academy provides education and information for the entire alpaca community. Topics range from the most common questions about alpacas and the industry to in-depth articles on alpaca EPDs, genetics, and breeding. Alpaca Academy also provides information on the latest alpaca research and links to additional resources.
Although there is a lot of information on Alpaca Academy, we encourage you to visit with local farms, your veterinarian, AOA Affiliates, and national camelid organizations for additional information. If you are new to the alpaca industry or considering getting started, we especially recommend that you complete the Request Information Form to receive information from AOA on getting started in the alpaca industry.
