About CRIAgenesis

CRIAgenesis evolved from a desire to provide the Australian alpaca and llama industries with reproductive and herd health services. The primary aims of CRIAgenesis are to provide breeders with:

embryo transfer technologies

nutritional advice applicable to individual farm needs

establishment and management of Johne's disease Market Assurance Programs

parasite control advice

plasma harvesting from your own camelids for use in your herd

The principal of CRIAgenesis is Jane Vaughan, who has been working with alpacas since 1991. Jane graduated with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Honours) from the University of Melbourne in 1988. She spent 7 years working in mixed practice in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia and the United Kingdom. In 1996, Jane worked at the Cocos Islands Quarantine Station with more than 600 Peruvian alpacas during their importation to Australia. She then spent a year at Murdoch University doing a Residency in Food Animal Medicine and passed examinations for membership to the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists in the Ruminant Nutrition Chapter. Between 1999 and 2001 she studied the control of ovarian follicular growth in alpacas as part of a Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation-funded Doctor of Philosophy at Central Queensland University.

Jane is the chief investigator of the RIRDC-funded study (2002/04): The development of artificial insemination technology in alpacas. This work is being undertaken in conjunction with Professor David Galloway and Dr David Hopkins.

Jane has accreditation to set-up and manage Johne’s disease Market Assurance Programs for alpacas, llamas, sheep and cattle. She is a past-President of the Australian Camelid Veterinary Association and is the current Secretary and Newsletter Editor of the Association.

Jane will travel nationally and internationally to provide the services offered by CRIAgenesis.
