Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: FEEd- A great Alpaca feed
That's funny Laurel,
We were feeding our old pellet as directed. We have no interest in
overfeeding, saying so and implying that was the cause of our problems
is insulting.
We lost our best female to a perforated ulcer and had those herd-wide
micron blowouts. After we stopped that feed, general health improved,
specific health problems resolved or improved, luster in fleece
returned, crimp returned, crias are now normal/correct birth weights
instead of fatties making delivery difficult.
How do you account for those results? The previous long-time owner of
Aussie Rockford also changed from that old pellet to our custom milled
one, and also noticed increased fleece crimp, luster, depth of color,
which she stated indicated an adundance of health. Due to the superior
feed.
Even before we started this pellet, our animals wouldn't touch Dynamite
pellets. And with the WABA pellet it was dicey. We haven't tried any
other feeds.
