[Alpacasite] Aggressive Feeding Behavior

I'm sure this question has been asked a zillion times, but here goes
again...

I have a pregnant female (5 months) agisting on a farm who has
become very aggressive in trying to get to her grain at feeding
time. She bumps the feeder in the back to the point where it hurts
and once has completely knocked her down. She body scores at 3.5
out of 5 so is a little over weight. They put her in the fat pen
and feed her first, but she's still aggressive. She's nice at all
other times, only at feeding time does she behave this way. Could
she be missing something in her diet that makes her crave her grain
more?

Any suggestions on what's causing this behavior and how to stop it?
