Feeding Recommendations:
Generally, an alpaca’s total daily feed consumption will be between 1.2% to 1.5% of body weight for maintenance, 1.5% to 2.5% for growing, 1.5% to 2% for late gestation and 1.5% to 3% during lactation. The level of blend fed will vary depending on a number of factors such as body weight and condition, pregnancy, lactation (level of milk production), activity and quality of the roughage being fed. The portion of blend fed will generally vary between 10% and 75% of total daily feed intake. Roughage is an important part of their daily intake and must be available at all times.
Introduce Alpaca Blend gradually and avoid sudden changes to diet, as digestive problems may occur. If digestive problems occur, reduce the amount of blend being fed and increase roughage consumption until normal digestive activity returns.
When feeding alpacas and llamas, be aware that they are prone to choking if they consume food too quickly. Feed in a manner that will slow their rate of consumption.
