Definition Of Parturition Parturition is divided into three stages.
Stage 1- Dilation of the cervix and contractinguterus
Stage 2- Expulsion of the fetus Stage 3- Expulsion of the placenta
First stage takes several hours and can lastup to 24 hours. Many alpacas do not show
signs of this stage. Second stage is usually over in 15 minutes
but can range from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Third stage should be done in 4-6 hours with
most passing within an hour.

any question.
