Yes this helps a lot Allison, thanks for taking the time to share your
notes. So if I am going to purchase I might as well go ahead and
purchase the specific alpaca colostrum to keep on hand, instead of calf,
goat, etc from someplace like PBS. I bet the alpaca colostrum is much
more expensive? As is everything related to alpacas! Assuming that it
is I wonder about the cost/benefit ratio for something that there is
high probability of not needing?
It was the bovine serum in the Sav-A-Caf colostrum supplement that I was
concerned about. Any one have any info on using something like that? I
am thinking it would be best to stick with the multi species
colostrum/no serum, but don't really know, since I know serum is often
recommended for an at risk cria. The multi species is relatively
inexpensive so not a burden for me to keep on hand. But will order the
alpaca colostrum if the consensus is that is substantially better for
our crias; of course logic says it would be, but again I am looking at
cost/benefit ratios here, and again don't have any idea how much the
alpaca specific colostrum costs. If it is not significantly more
expensive then of course that is a no brainer.
Thanks! Janice
PS Since I basically have no vet I wouldn't be able to run IGg anyway,
but I am going to print out what you have written to put in my manual
that I share with the vet when I am lucky enough to have one.
