High energy pellets formulated from non-GMO* ingredients designed specifically for alpacas and llamas

High specification pellets designed specifically enriched with essential vitamins to supplement pasture for alpacas and llamas that need to gain additional condition. This includes lactating animals, cria and poor performers that need supplementary feeding.

Key Benefits and Features

• Non-GM grains, legumes, molasses and broll to deliver a high level of energy to help gain body condition.  

• Contains a wide range of major minerals and trace elements to help support health and vigour. 

• Added protein to help balance low protein forages like hay and mature grazing. 

• Added vitamin B1 to help prevent thiamine deficiency and elevated levels of the sunshine vitamin – Vitamin D3. 

• A convenient pellet for increased utilisation, durability and reduced wastage.  

Feeding Recommendation

NRM Alpaca Pellets can be fed at times of low pasture quality to fill a feed gap or when extra condition is required. Excess feeding should be avoided to prevent animals becoming over weight. Transition onto NRM Alpaca Pellets by starting with 50g/head/day for a week, before building up to the desired daily feeding rate over the next one to two weeks. Ensure an adequate amount of forage and clean drinking water is available at all times.
