This is a photo of a llama embryo 7 days after fertilization. The
embryo is less than 1mm in diameter at this stage and can be transferred
into the uterus of an unrelated female who will be its surrogate mother.
The dark spot is the part that will become the baby llama and
all the rest becomes the placenta.
The story of how we became interested in advanced reproductive techniques (and why) was printed in the Alpaca Registry Journal (spring 2000). Click here to see the story in printable form. |

The story of this project, written before the birth of the female shown here, was published in the Alpaca Registry Journal. Click here to see the story in printable form. | |||
