Do you all realize everything you are saying about mad cow disease and feeding your animals....animal products...are exactly what each of us are made up of and cows milk has animal product in it...fat...and alpaca milk has animal product in it...fat... The alpaca is not chewing up grass and spitting down their crias throats and feeding them only vegetative product? They are feeding them animal product until they can digest grass. They way you all are carrying on about this subject seems to be going a bit over board. The product is pretty standard for all animals including humans. Do any of you replying to this eat any meat?? You must all be vegetarians?? Then we might as well get into what pesticides are on the vegetables you eat and what cancers you will develop later in life. You are making so much of something that one person asked about using milk replacer? Milk replacer is there for those who have no other means of feeding their poor animal that may die from starvation with no mommas milk. This happens how often? So, fifty fifty, lose the animal to starvation or mad cows disease? I'd say quit scaring everyone to death about a product that is luckily there for those who need it. Your animal may have been sensitive to the replacer. Human babies also can be sensitive to milk replacer, which many use in our society, and then we have to find one that works and the baby quits throwing up on it and having diarrhea!! :) I am not criticizing you and your opinion, it's just that you all are going way outside the boundaries of the milk replacer question. This will make good people feel like they are terrible care takers of their animals using this product. It may work for some and not for others. Just my opinion on the subject ...and my last. You gave your opinion on the subject...it didn't work for you which is very sad. No one wants to watch a poor critter suffer. It worked for others which is a Yaaaa! I would hope it's not your desire to really put the scare into people who are new to this area and make them never enter alpaca hood? I would rather see comments for questions in the form of what you use and not an extreme answer to why others methods should not be used...unless it's actual animal cruelty! :) I know I probably should not have replied to this subject, but it is almost getting to the point where I have to start deleting all messages with this subject line...

Subject: Re: [AlpacaTalk] what to use?: BSE
I still don't think I'd want to feed lard or whey to alpacas. Its bad enough we don't have an ALPACA milk replacer made from alpaca milk and have to feed them cow's milk.

I took the time to call the company that manufactures the Sav-a-calf products. I told the lady that there seems to be a mind set that mad cow disease can be gotten from using their products.
She told me that mad cow disease does not come from pork fat. The same product that you can buy in the store in a can to make pies: it is the edible grade lard.
The whey product is a by-product of cows milk from making cheese.
