Re: [AlpacaTalk] Minerals / Copper
Yes that is what I thought!!! So why are so many people using supplements and feed that have copper in them.Yes depending on weather the forage packs in the copper. Really dry times makes the grass pull more copper from the soil,thus meaning hay would have copper in it.So if you think about it: Alpaca feeds low copper,add hay,grass and minerals.They are getting all the copper they need if not more.Tina Travis

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] Minerals / Copper
A local ranch in our area had 6-8 alpacas die from copper toxicity. He was feeding minerals with copper, pellets with copper and it appears our area grass and water also has some copper levels too. Our local vet gave a talk about it and said you really need to evaluate all sources of copper intake. It builds up in the system over time and then all of a sudden they are toxic and die.
