Re: [AlpacaTalk] what to use?: BSE

 

I can only imagine the quantities of lard and whey in an 8 pound bag of the replacer is massive.

 

If I would have had a choice, I would have preferred to not have had to use anything.  My choice would have been that Brandies mom had not died.  But, she did die.  I have no regrets for having used the replacer.

 

We will each do as we see best for our animals.

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.

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.
