AlpacaMAP Manual

The Australian Johne's Disease Market Assurance Program for Alpaca has been developed by members of the Australian Alpaca Association, the Australian Camelid Veterinary Association, the Animal Health Committee and the National Johne's Disease Coordinator. Advice has also been received from the Commonwealth, state and territory government animal health authorities.

Following approval of the Pooled Faecal Culture Test for alpaca an Appendix 13 has been added to the AlpacaMAP.  This document is only available from the website and will be incorporated in the manual when the AlpacaMAP manual is next revised. Details of the Pooled Faecal Culture for Alpaca are available here: AlpacaMAP Appendix 13 Pooled Faecal Culture

The AlpacaMAP manual was released in 2001 and version 2 was released in August 2005. You can download a copy of the AlpacaMAP manual (2,990 KB) or you may prefer to download our MAP manual order form (59 KB) and submit it to Animal Health Australia.
