Resources

Alpaca resourcesThe Alpaca Registry (ARI) is a database housing the genealogy, blood typing/DNA and ownership records of alpacas in North America and those of a few alpacas outside this area. At its inception in late 1988, the Registry mandated blood typing as a requisite for registration and currently accepts only offspring of ARI registered alpacas that qualify by DNA testing. You can access the ARI web site at the following address: http://www.alpacaregistry.net

The Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association (AOBA) was formed in 1988 for the following purposes. (1) To promote public awareness and membership appreciation of the Alpaca's unique qualities; (2) To educate the membership on the care and breeding of the Alpaca; (3) To promote the growth of the Alpaca industry as a whole; and (4) To foster the establishment of the breed outside of its native land by encouraging husbandry and breeding practices based upon, but not limited to, herd health, overall soundness, and alpaca fiber production and products. You can access the AOBA web site at the following address: http://www.alpacainfo.com

Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of North America, Inc. (AFCNA) is an agricultural cooperative formed and owned by alpaca producers in North America for the purpose of collecting and processing alpaca fiber and distributing alpaca fiber and related products and the profit from them to its owners (members). Our goal is to maximize the long-term benefits to our members, the individual alpaca fiber producers, and to the alpaca breeding industry as a whole. Since its founding in 1998, AFCNA has grown to over 1,000 members. We welcome all North American alpaca owners to join the Co-op and work with us to build a sustainable and successful alpaca fiber industry.
