[AlpacaTalk] Re: FEEd- A great Alpaca feed
Heather- as I said if you don't get the information to compare on the
web site and you wish to make an informed decision I would be happy to
email the scanned label which would provide all the information you
requested, or contact Knoblocks. They are great people and happy to
answer any questions you may have.
Pac-a-Nutrition when fed as recommended has not caused blowout in our
animals and since we started using this we have found improved fleece
primarily due in our opinion to healthy animals. To the point, the
animals or fleece we sent to shows have ribboned with one exception
and it was very dusty fleece and could not be evaluated - our fault.
There is no wastage with this feed and we have found that the cria
start eating this about the same time they start eating hay. The size
poses no issue for the Alpaca other than no choke. The quality
control over the product is the other feature we really appreciate
working with Knoblocks and their dedication to a safe, high value
product. This has been an outstanding supplement to the Orchard grass
hay we provide free choice and supplemented by grazing during our warm
months.
If we could help with additional information we would be happy to
answer any questions.
