Re: [AlpacaTalk] Mineral

We have always used Stillwater 104, but I like the Golden Blend and
Evans Blend E formulations a lot.

If you are in a low selenium area, it is extremely important to use a
mineral mix that has a high amount of this trace mineral. Alpacas
need more than other ruminants, without it and sufficient Vitamin E,
they can die of White Muscle Disease, have decreased fertility in
both males and females, and all sorts of other major problems.
Vitamin E deficiency can cause muscle necrosis including heart tissue
which isn't reparable once adequate levels are restored.
