[AlpacaTalk] What are you feeding?

Recently, I asked for advise from someone regarding a female alpaca that I have that is very thin and a comment was made about the feed that I provide to my alpacas as a supplement.

I started my farm this year and just brought my alpacas home in February. I kept the alpacas on the same feed that the previous owner had them on. I have the herd on a wormer protocol recommended by my vet. I do not have pasture grass for my alpaca to graze on yet. The fields that I have must be wiped out and seeded with the appropriate grass, which I am in the process of doing, but that doesn't help the alpaca much. I will be doing fecal testing this week to be sure it is not a parasite issue with this female, but I am testing the entire herd.

What do you feed your alpacas and why did you choose that particular feed?

Thanks,
Chrys Volk
