CRIA fills a key gap in the alpaca breeding industry by providing state-of-the-art reproductive health services to ensure optimal herd health and reproductive capacity. Through the use of ultrasound techniques—and years of specialized training in alpaca reproductive health—CRIA offers a more definitive method of pregnancy determination, empowering breeders with the information they need to maximize the return on their investment.

Fully insured and operated by its owner, CRIA is the first mobile business of its kind. As a general operating principle, CRIA recognizes that only veterinarians are qualified to make diagnoses of illnesses in animals. Therefore, our services are designed to complement those of the veterinarian. The focus of CRIA's ultrasound services is to determine whether the female is pregnant and, if so, the stage of the pregnancy. If a CRIA ultrasound process suggests an issue, a picture will be provided to the breeder for follow up with a veterinarian.
