Re: [AlpacaTalk] llama colustrum

 

I just checked out Wombaroo and their colostrum replacer is made from cow's milk too - anyone know what the Wombaroo is made of?

Catherine,
Welcome aboard.  It is so exciting to bring your alpacas home.  Best of luck to you and if you have any questions, ask a way.  Alpacas are somewhat unique in many ways, but they aren't hard - just interesting sometimes.

I do not have them yet, but I will be getting a pair of Alpacas in a couple weeks.  I am very excited, as I have wanted some for a long time.

So I have joined this group in order to learn all I can about them.

I have had sheep, this is the closest thing.  I have never had Alpacas.

I am a spinner.

We live on a small farm in West Virginia.

Re: [AlpacaTalk] llama colustrum

 

I checked Quality Llama Products and Jeffers Livestock and they don't appear to carry it, but Useful-Items.com does carry it. 


There may be info on wombaroo.com

Re: [AlpacaTalk] llama colustrum

 

Yes, it does.


However, it does not appear to have rendered animal products in it, which was the concern with that other milk replacer product, if you recall.

Re: [AlpacaTalk] what to use?: BSE

 

Yes, Jim.  That's why I am so adamant about it.  Be very careful what you eat and how your food is prepared and read up on the diseases and health problems cow's milk causes in humans while you're at it.  We don't have a rumen and cannot digest casein.

Seems to me, if there is such of a thing to be afraid of it being in a product meant as a milk replacer for animals, we should be concerned if we are consuming it our selves in a form that is meant for human consumption as well.

I don't have a problem with whey, but the lard is a major problem for me. 


I don't know of studies done on milk and milk products as to whether they can or do carry prions. But given that they are indestructible and fatal, it seems like something that should be looked into.

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.
