[AlpacaTalk] RE: Beet Pulp

<<My formula for feeding moistened beet pulp is very scientific and
difficult. I put both my hands in the bucket of wet beet pulp, scoop it
up and schlup it into the feed pans. Then I top dress with 1/2 handful
of Calf Manna. :)>>

My method is just as scientific as Karen's. I soak up a supply that
will last several days and then just scoop into the feeding buckets. I
always start anything new in small quantities, then if they eat it and
tolerate it well I slowly increase. I am probably giving about 1/2 cup
twice a day and will start to increase this week a bit more.

Our elderly TN Walker horse just could not keep weight on and I ahve
been looking at her ribs all year. I started her on the Senior Seminole
as I had been told it would do miracles. It did, she put on weight and
started looking good again. But Seminole, around here, is very
aggravating to get and required too much arranging and organizing time
and besides was too expensive for me. I studied the label and saw that
beet pulp wast he first ingredient. The rest was exactly the same as
the Tucker Senior Feed I can run over to my close by feed store and pick
up any time I need.....no need for planning weeks ahead of time. So
that is how I came to start using the beet pulp. Now I just add it to
the regular Sr feed. And that is how I came to think about giving it to
my alpacas.....especially the one older female whose body score just
would not come up.

For the 100# dog I just plop a large spoonful (soaked) in his food bowl.
Since yesterday I am adding the T of apple cider vinegar to that, then
his regular food. He licks the bowl clean. Still the cat will not
touch it tho.

After reading here today, I am going to put out a pan for the chix,
ducks, and guineas to see if they too would like some.

What a great way to get meds in our pacas! Thanks for the tip Heidi.

Warmly, Janice in GA
