Our June 2026 update to the 'SD Across' benchmark database is now available. Use this data to place your Genetic Focus test results into context by comparing your alpaca's genetically influenced fibre uniformity against others based on age, fleece colour, and species.
This presentation explores the relationship between fibre diameter variation, SD across measurements, and fleece uniformity in alpaca fibre analysis. Learn how genetic focus can improve fibre consistency, quality, and processing performance.
Prioritising traits for Associations’ herd improvement programs
Introduction Monitoring objective fibre traits using fibre measurement makes a lot of sense. It allows fleece growers the opportunity to select animals that are likely to produce the more valuable fleeces. More importantly, it also provides an insight into the…
