2023 GLAA Winter Seminar
Saturday, March 4, 2023 - Saturday, March 4, 2023
Evansville, WI
Dr. Larson was born and raised on a small livestock farm in west central Illinois where he participated in FFA and 4-H. His DVM was earned at the University of Illinois where he also participated in postgraduate studies while in practice. His mixed practice in Alpha, IL was primarily cattle and swine, but really was kind of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’. He left practice after 30 years of getting butted, kicked, bitten and any other kind of abuse that animals can do. Nevertheless, he would do it again in a heartbeat. He continued to do vet work in the Illinois and Iowa Departments of Ag while beginning his alpaca practice.
He developed an interest in alpacas after his three children left home and their 4-H projects ended. He has raised alpacas for 20 years and his interest in alpaca practice has continued during his semi-retirement years. He has developed a friendship with two Peruvian vets who have been a source of information plus a connection with native alpacas. He actively assists new farms, speaks to alpaca groups, and continues to practice on alpacas exclusively.
Dr. Larson has always been active in community work and organized vet medicine. He continues to serve on the Board of the Alpaca Research Foundation.
The seminar will be focused on alpaca health, including:
• An update on small coccidia, including Emac,
• Resistant parasites on the move, especially Barber Pole worm,
• Mites,
• Lepto as a cause of abortions,
• Immune-compromised cria - a less-expensive treatment than plasma,
• Nutrition - cria growth rates, hay testing, feeding programs.
Seminar will be $55 for current paid members, $60 for current paid neighboring affiliate members, and $110 for non-members.
