“…Live weight at slaughter was 54.2±6.4 kg, which is lower than the 63.18 kg found by Cristofanelli et al (2004Cristofanelli et al ( , 2005 for carcasses of 25-month old males, and probably reflects the younger age of our llamas (18 to 24 months). Carcasses weighed 26.1±4 kg and presented a light and scarce fat coverage (1.33 ±0.46 in a 1 to 5 point scale).…”

“…Cristofanelli et al (2005) hicieron una evaluación en 20 llamas y 40 alpacas machos en Arequipa, Perú, criados extensivamente y sacrificadas a los 25 meses de edad. Se encontró que el porcentaje de la pierna con respecto al peso de la canal fue significativamente menor para las alpacas que para las llamas, concluyendo que la llama tiene mayor potencial intrínseco como fuente de carne en la zona altoandina.…”

“…La llama tiene un gran potencial como fuente de carne en el altiplano, produciendo carcasas más grandes que las de alpacas (Lama pacos). Asimismo, el cuarto posterior presenta los cortes de más valor y una mayor proporción de músculo que la alpaca (Cristofanelli et al, 2005).…”
