Following the tradition of previous events, the Symposium will cover a broad range of topics related to the breeding and husbandry of South American domestic and wild Camelids, wool sheep, Cashmere and Angora goats, Angora rabbit and all other fibre mammals in Europe and in the World. The invitation to participants interested in all fibre producing animals is expected to stimulate the exchange of knowledge and thus enabling their expertise to be implemented on a more general scale.
