Clay will keep debris from building up in the wool of llamas, but it will give lighter colored llamas a orangish hue that is difficult to remove even with baths. It tends to be very hard once it is packed down and does not absorb urine much at all. This leaves puddles and odor in the barn. Because it is hard, it is difficult for llamas to make a depression in the clay from rolling. Clay alone is probably not the best choice for barn flooring for llamas.
Cement is a good surface for some areas of the barn, but too hard to use for the entire barn.
It is stable, easy to clean off and keeps the llamas from getting dirty. Unfortunately, it is not comfortable for the llamas to lie on for long periods of time. Cement should be used in only a portion of the barn area. In high traffic areas, cement can help wear down llama toenails and minimize the need for trimming. Cemented sections around water sources can prevent muddy areas that the llamas do not like to walk through, ensuring that they will get to the water.
