- In this short video, we demonstrate alpaca body scoring with Amanda VandenBosch - breeder, judge, and owner of Flying Dutchman Alpaca.
Amanda utilizes the Mazuri Alpaca Body Conditioning Scoring Chart to conduct her assessment of her alpaca's body condition. The chart is based on a numerical range of 1 (thin) - 5 (overweight) with three being the optimal condition. Amanda takes us through the four stages of evaluation, starting with feeling her alpaca's spine and rib section, checking for both muscle and flesh in these areas, but also ensuring you can still feel the spine and rib beneath. She stresses the importance of pressing down through the fiber to ensure you are feeling the actual body of the alpaca. She then looks at the alpaca from the front, focusing on the chest and space between the legs. Finally she looks at the alpaca from the rear, again looking at the space between the rear legs.
