What does the association do?

Firstly, we encourage the development of all aspects of the alpaca. These include items  such as genetic improvement, fibre production and end products including yarn, garments and household goods.

Secondly, we increase knowledge through shows, farm open days, training courses and workshops.

Thirdly, the Alpaca Association of Ireland maintains a registry of the alpacas in Ireland owned by AAI members.  In this way, we  create an international Breed Standard. It is used to evaluate the quality of animals bred and bought by members to promote  high quality breeding stock
