This is below the variation experienced by most alpacas and therefore, this alpaca is regarded as potentially superior with regard to breeding for reduced variation of FD over fleeces. The average ‘across sample’ SD is 3.3 microns. This is under the average for alpacas (4.5 microns). This alpaca is regarded as potentially superior with regard to breeding for reducing variation between fibres and reducing incidence of coarse fibres. The average fibre diameter currently places the alpaca well in the ‘ultrafine’ grade. Given the age of the alpaca, this alpaca is regarded as potentially superior with regard to breeding for low fibre diameter. The Micron Profile indicates a rise in nutritional intake by fibre follicles. This is consistent with pre/post natal nutrition. The curvature at 39 dg/mm indicates ‘very tight’ crimping fibre, relatively consistent for this fibre diameter. However, this may be influenced by either environmental or genetic causes. This alpaca is considered to be potentially superior for breeding progeny for premium type fleeces.
