ALPACA PELLETS

Feeding Recommendations

• Introduce Meal Time Alpaca Pellets gradually to allow digestive systems to adjust to the higher starch intake.
• Alpacas should always have access to a quality fibre source such as hay, chaff, pasture or silage to maintain a healthy digestive system.
• Do not allow individual animals to over consume. When feeding a group of animals spread the feed along the trough to allow for easy access by them all.
• Keep feed fresh and ensure feeding containers are kept clean.
• Ensure that Alpacas have access to fresh, clean water at all times.
• Feed Meal Time Alpaca Pellets plus Zinc from January to mid-April to help with the prevention of Facial Eczema.
