Re: [AlpacaTalk] Beet Pulp

Hello, Janice!

I have never thought that feeding grain to our alpacas was a good thing. I just don't think that their guts are wired for grain and it may cause more problems than it fixes. I feed beet pulp that I've soaked. They love it! It holds their weight and they are healthy. If I have eight issues with nursing moms I add a handfull of Calf Manna and they love it. I won't know about fleece quality until the spring - just started feeding the beet pulp alone on a daily basis.

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] Beet Pulp

Does anyone here feed beet pulp to their alpacas? I started feeding it
to our much loved elderly horse this year and have been so pleased with
her weight and coat improvement. I started giving it to my dog who has
been suffered with coat and skin problems for a couple of years and
nothing seems to help. His stool almost immediately improved, it's been
a few weeks and I've yet to see any changes in his coat. I've started
giving it to my inside cat who always has a hard tiny stool; but she
won't eat but a tiny tiny bite of it.
I started giving it to my alpacas about a week ago. They love it. Any
thoughts or info anyone?

Also, wanted to let you all know that I just recently read that ducks
will "totally clear your garden of snails and slugs". I am excited to
think they have cleaned up the snails in the alpaca pasture they share.

Warmly, Janice in GA
