5 LINKING UP Interview with Dr. Walter Bravo Renowned Camelid Veterinarian by Sue Wilde A group of healthy crias in the Peruvian highlands. Welcome to the Link Dr. Bravo. Tell us about where you are from originally and how you started working with llamas and alpacas. I was born and raised in the Peruvian highlands, specifically in Cusco, Peru, a city close to the famous ruins of Machupicchu. I started working with llamas and alpacas in On my first job, which was mainly in charge of prevention and treatment of about 80,000 sheep, there were also 10,000 alpacas and a small herd of about 300 llamas. It was a good job and everything that I did was only preventive medicine. I still remember vividly that during the lambing season (2-3 months) I used to live on the saddle of the horse every single day with the exception of Sundays. And, in the case of alpacas I was again on the saddle a second period of 2 months making sure that crias were taken care of and again, doing preventive medicine. Describe your early work and research before coming to North America. After 5-6 years working for two important big co-operatives (Picotani and Marangani, by the way this second cooperative used to have more than 20,000 alpacas, I decide to go back to academia with a good background of field experience. I was an Assistant Professor for San Marcos University at La Raya Research Center. At this place I did some teaching and basic research on animal production. At this point also I emphasized my work on reproductive issues of llamas and alpacas. What brought you to United States? What was your involvement with llamas and alpacas here? While working in Peru I was always thinking to pursue a graduate education and the opportunity came to come to Utah State University in 1983 and I started to work under the direction of Warren C. Foote a famous sheep researcher and teacher that had a collaborative program with Peru. After finishing my Masters program I applied to University of California, Davis where I met Dr. Murray E. Fowler, the father of llama medicine, and I did work under his direction and also under the supervision of the late Dr. George H. Stabenfeldt, very famous for his work in hormones in cats (also induced ovulators, like llamas and alpacas). What areas of your research do you think have been most valuable to llama and alpaca breeders? What can breeders be doing to manage their herds most effectively for optimum results in their breeding programs? The response to this question is long and I will try to summarize it. In the female side my PhD work defined the occurrence of ovarian follicular waves in females. The size of follicles ready to ovulate and the response of the brain, the pituitary gland to be more specific, were determined. In addition, the best time of breeding was also determined. This is the basic knowledge that every veterinarian and owner/breeder of llamas and alpacas applies to his/her breeding program. Also, some of the most common ailments of the reproductive system were determined, not only from the point of physical sizes of follicles but most important from the hormonal point of view. On the male side, I did characterize the basic semen characteristics of males that are involved in a breeding program. This work was also related to size and fertility of the male. Again, this is the basic knowledge that is used now worldwide. As far as how to manage breeding of llamas and alpacas, the response is that 80% of females are normal and about 90% of sires are also normal.
