Animal breeding is a branch of animal science that addresses the evaluation (using best linear unbiased prediction and other methods) of the genetic value (estimated breeding value, EBV) of livestock.
 Selecting for breeding animals with superior EBV in growth rate, egg, meat, milk, or wool production, or with other desirable traits has revolutionized livestock production throughout the world.
 The scientific theory of animal breeding incorporates population genetics, quantitative genetics, statistics, and recently molecular genomics and is based on the pioneering work of Sewall Wright, Jay Lush, and Charles Henderson.
An alpaca ("Vicugna pacos") is a domesticated species of South American camelid.
 It resembles a small llama in appearance.
Preservation breeding is an attempt by many animal breeders to preserve bloodlines of animals, either of a rare breed, or of rare pedigrees within a breed.
 One purpose of preservation breeding is to protect genetic diversity within a species, another is to preserve valuable genetic traits that may not be popular or in fashion in the present, but may be of great value in the future.
 Preservation breeding can also mean the breeding of animals to populate or repopulate an area where a species previously existed.
 It can also mean the breeding of species that are healthy and releasing the healthy individuals into a population that is defective or infected for the purpose of strengthening the overall health of the population.
Another Animal is the self-titled debut album by the musical group Another Animal.
 It was released on October 2, 2007.
 The song "Amends" appeared in the closing credits for the 2008 zombie horror film " Insanitarium ".
Germplasm are living genetic resources such as seeds or tissues that are maintained for the purpose of animal and plant breeding, preservation, and other research uses.
 These resources may take the form of seed collections stored in seed banks, trees growing in nurseries, animal breeding lines maintained in animal breeding programs or gene banks, etc.
 Germplasm collections can range from collections of wild species to elite, domesticated breeding lines that have undergone extensive human selection.
 Germplasm collection is important for the maintenance of biological diversity and food security.
"Broken Again" is the lead single from the album "Another Animal" by the American heavy metal band Another Animal.
 Its runtime is 5:23.
A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer created by an animal that lives in the sea.
 The shell is part of the body of the animal.
 Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers.
 The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have been eaten by another animal or have rotted out.
Jane Hamilton-Merritt (born Mary Jane LaRowe, 1937), in Noble County, Indiana is a retired college professor, photojournalist, author, and animal rights and animal husbandry advocate.
 She resides in Redding, Connecticut.
 In 1999, she was inducted into the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame.
 Some of her work has focused on breeding and raising Llamas and Alpaca.
Breeding in the wild is the natural process of animal reproduction occurring in the natural habitat of a given species.
 This terminology is distinct from animal husbandry or breeding of species in captivity.
 Breeding locations are often chosen for very specific requirements of shelter and proximity to food; moreover, the breeding season is a particular time window that has evolved for each species to suit species anatomical, mating-ritual, or climatic and other ecological factors.
 Many species migrate considerable distances to reach the requisite breeding locations.
 Certain common characteristics apply to various taxa within the animal kingdom, which traits are often sorted among amphibians, reptiles, mammals, avafauna, arthropods and lower life forms.
In animal breeding, a breeding mount or phantom mount is an imitation of a female animal used to hold an artificial vagina for collecting semen from a male animal for use in artificial insemination.
 In use, the male animal is encouraged to mount the breeding mount as if he were copulating with a female.
 Breeding mounts are commonly used in conjunction with a real female of the same species nearby, to bring the male to full sexual arousal so that he is ready to mount the breeding mount.
 In the case of horses, this is known as the "tease mare".

Question: Some of Jane Hamilton-Merritt's work has focused on breeding and raising llamas and another animal of what origin?
Answer: South American
