AlpacaMAP
The JD Market Assurance Program for Alpaca (AlpacaMAP) has closed.
This was decided by the Australian Alpaca Association (AAA), and AHA after low participation numbers for many years and the launch of a new biosecurity initiative for alpacas.
Q Alpaca
Q Alpaca is a voluntary alpaca quality assurance program maintained by the AAA. Alpaca growers who participate in Q Alpaca work with veterinarians.
Alpaca CheQA
A new biosecurity initiative for alpaca owners. There is initially one module of Alpaca CheQA available, with further levels in development.
The baseline module of Alpaca CheQA is available to all members at no cost, with no audit.
Visit the AAA website for more information about their biosecurity programs.
