The aim of his study was to determine the zoometric indexes of the Creole sheep of the Chuquibambilla Experimental Centre, in Puno, Peru. The study was carried out on a population of 380 female creole sheep older than two years. Various indices were calculated, including ethnological: cephalic index (CI), thoracic index (IT), body index (ICO), pelvic index (IP); milk capacity indices: thoracic metacarpal index (IDT), costal metacarpal index (IDC); meat capacity indexes: relative proportionality index of the thorax (IPRT), transverse pelvic index (IPT), longitudinal pelvic index (IPL), as well as the relative cane thickness (ERC). The results show that the Creole sheep presents characteristics of mesocephalic, brevilinear, convexylline and eumometric animals, with aptitude to develop muscular tissue, easy of calving and adaptation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the superovulatory and embryonic response in alpacas with equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) according to the number of follicles recruited >3 mm in the follicular wave (FW). Twenty-six alpacas from the CIP “Chuquibambilla”, Universidad Nacional del Altiplano, Puno, Peru, were selected and distributed into two experimental groups: GE01 (n=15 alpacas) with less than three follicles >3 mm and GE02 (n=11 alpacas) with more from four follicles >3 mm in diameter to follicular recruitment post-induction of ovulation by a follicle >7 mm with 0.0042 mg of buserelin acetate (BA). Both groups were evaluated by ultrasound every other day until the beginning of the third follicular wave. Subsequently, females with follicles >7 mm were induced to ovulate with BA (day 0), ovulation was verified at 36 h and 700 IU of eCG was administered. On day...
