An important biotechnology with a great impact on the genetic improvement in domestic species is the develop of Artificial Insemination (AI). However, information on the collection, characteristics, evaluation and preservation of semen from the alpaca is still insufficient. The highly viscous nature of camelid semen represents a further challenge to the development of AI technology, which requires evaluation methods that contribute to liquefaction, submit to a cryopreservation protocol and study sperm quality post-thaw. For the present study, 4 male adult alpacas were trained for collection with artificial vagina. Semen collection was performed once a week for 6 weeks for a total of 24 samples. Each sample was assessed for quality parameters in fresh and immediately split into two equal fractions and were added a commercial dilutor. Each fraction was exposed to a different treatment of semen: a fraction (A) was submitted to the mechanical action by passages through a needle N°18 (needling) and the other fraction (B) was submitted to manual shaking. Then, both fractions were centrifuged at 802 × 10 minutes. Completed the process, the supernatant was removed and the pellet was reconstituted with commercial dilutor to be submitted to a temperature drop to 5 ° C and a reassessment of the semen. Then, 0.5 ml straws were loaded with the final dilution and they exposed to liquid nitrogen vapor before they were storaged in the tank. After 7 days, the straws were thawed in water at 37°Cfor a minute to be tested.The results obtained after post-thawed between treatment A (needle passages) and B (hand shaking) for percent motility no statistically significant difference between the two treatments (K-Wkallis: 1.67; p> 0.05) was found. In relation to the percentage of live sperm, percentage of sperm to test positive endosmosis (HOST) and the percentage of normal sperm was not statistically significant differences between treatments (ANOVA, p> 0.05). Keywords: alpaca, cryopreservation, needling, shaking, centrifugation
