Resumen
La cría de llamas es una importante actividad de impacto socioeconómico en la región Puna de la Provincia de Jujuy, sin embargo, la misma tiene una baja tasa de procreo. Con el objetivo de estudiar potenciales causas de pérdidas reproductivas y perinatales, se controló una tropa nativa de llamas durante toda la etapa gestacional y se establecieron los índices de preñez, abortos, natimortos, teratogenia y muerte perinatal. Además, se realizaron estudios serológicos de brucelosis, leptospirosis, diarrea viral bovina, herpes virus bovino, neosporosis, sarcocystosis y toxoplasmosis en las hembras que presentaron pérdidas de gestación. El 82,8% (24/29) de las pérdidas reproductivas no pudieron asociarse a la infección con los agentes virales y bacterianos investigados. Los niveles de anticuerpos contra N. caninum, T. gondii y diferentes serovares de Leptospira sp podrían sugerir infecciones crónicas con baja relación con las pérdidas reproductivas detectadas. Astragalus garbancillo fue identificado entre la vegetación de pastoreo, y su consumo podría estar asociado a la presentación de crías con deformaciones y posiblemente abortos y mortalidad de crías débiles, siendo que los animales con mayor exposición a su consumo, tuvieron más de 4 veces mayor riesgo de padecer pérdidas peri-post-natales que los menos expuestos. Se requieren mayores estudios para establecer la asociación de estas potenciales causas con las pérdidas reproductivas, principalmente abortos y teratogenia en llamas.
The breeding of llamas (Lama glama) is an important activity of socioeconomic impact in the Puna region of the Jujuy Province, however, it has a low reproductive rate. In order to study potential causes of reproductive and perinatal losses, a native llama herd was controlled throughout the gestational stage, and rates of pregnancy, abortions, birth-deaths, teratogenesis and perinatal death were established. In addition, serological studies of brucellosis, leptospirosis, bovine viral diarrhea, bovine herpes virus, neosporosis, sarcoystosis and toxoplasmosis were realized out in females that presented pregnancy loss. The 82.8% (24/29) of reproductive losses could not be associated with infection with the viral and bacterial agents investigated. The levels of antibodies against N. caninum, T. gondii and different serovars of Leptospira sp could suggest chronic infections with a low relation to the reproductive losses detected. Astragalus garbancillo was identified among the grazing vegetation, and its consumption could be associated with the presentation of offspring weak or with deformations, and possibly abortions, being that the animals with greater exposure to its consumption, had more than 4 times greater risk of suffering peri-postnatal losses than the least exposed. Further studies are required to establish the association of these potential causes with reproductive losses, mainly abortions and teratogenicity in llamas.
