And now I want to tell you about life cycle of Llama.
Llama Pregnancy
Llamas are pregnant for 12-18 months. The size of the cria and the placenta does not increase very much until the last trimester.
Llama Growth
Llamas are growing from the time they are born until about 3 years of age. Llamas growth rate does slow down after about 2 years of age causing their requirements to approach maintenance, however, there is still some growth occurring. Growing animals are building lots of muscle, bone and skin and can be putting on up to 1 lb a day.
Young Llamas are also more active than the adults. This causes an increase in the total dietary requirements for protein, energy, calcium and phosphorus. Growth rations tend to be 1.5 to 2 times the requirements of maintenance. This does not mean that the ration itself has twice as much energy or protein, but that about twice as much needs to be fed on a body weight basis. This is usually done by feeding a little bit more of a diet which is a little more.

The height of a full-grown, full-size llama is 1.7 to 1.8 m (5.6 to
5.9 ft) tall at the top of the head, and can weigh between 130 and
200 kg (290 and 440 lb). At birth, a baby llama (called a cria)
can weigh between 9 and 14 kg (20 and 31 lb). Llamas typically live for
15 to 25 years, with some individuals surviving 30 years or more.
Ageing of Llama
With better care and more knowledgeable owners, llamas are living to be older. Not a great deal is known about geriatric nutrition in any species, let alone the llama. In general, they have a decreased energy, protein and calcium requirement due to decreased activity and less production of new tissue in the body.
Uniqueness of Llamas
The uniqueness of Llama is : They are long lived, with a normal life span of 15-20 years;they have a hard upper gum (no upper teeth in front).
