--- Nowadays, information about inbreeding and generation intervals in alpacas from pedigree information to monitoring genetic progress of selection programs, inbreeding depression on productive traits or genetic variability for conservations strategies, are scarce. The aim of this research is to determinate inbreeding coefficients, generation intervals and the effect of inbreeding on birth weight and fleece weight in a population of alpacas. To determinate these parameters, data from 12,493 individuals born from 1999 to 2012 in Mallkinis´ Farm - MICHELL Group, in Puno, Perú, were analyzed and processed with Pedigree Viewer and the program ENDOG 4.8. Stastistical analysis was made with SAS. Average inbreeding coefficients was 0.1654% for the whole population. Only 1.097% alpacas had inbreeding coefficients greater than 0, with a minimum value of 1.56 % and a maximum of 25%. Generation intervals obtained were 5.938±0.017, 6.319±0.034, and 5,606±0.034 for the whole population, males and females, respectively, being differences between sexes statistically significant. Furthermore, differences were found per type and color of alpacas. The effect of 1% of inbreeding results in -0.00418 Kg and -0.01107 Kg for birth weight and fleece weight, with p= 0.530 and p= 0.002, respectively. Also, the average increase of inbreeding coefficients by generation was less 1% (0.23%). The results show that the inbreeding in this population is present in a smaller extent. Nevertheless, the effect of inbreeding depression in birth weight is no statistically significant but fleece weight it is. It is important to get more genealogical information for a better estimation of inbreeding coefficients and its effect on productive traits in alpacas Key words: Inbreeding, alpaca, genealogical, inbreeding depression
