Biosecurity
Here at Snowshoe Farm, we are dedicated to keeping all alpacas in our care healthy. Through our good luck and due diligence we have been able to maintain a healthy and thriving herd for the last 10 years. As we moved towards offering agistment and outside breedings, we became mindful of the potential to expose our alpacas to problems such as parasites and disease from visiting alpacas and took pains to minimize such exposure.
In order to protect the health of our herd and those alpacas coming onto our farm, we have instituted the following biosecurity measures for all alpacas coming to Snowshoe Farm:
- All alpacas shall be tested for BVDV by PCR or VI test.
- All alpacas shall have a normal fecal test within 30 days of arrival.
- All alpacas coming to our farm from other farms or from shows or other events will be housed in a quarantine area for at least 3 weeks.
