| ALPACA NUTRITION: AN OVERVIEW ALPACA NUTRITION: AN OVERVIEW | | Alpaca Nutrition | | The alpaca belongs to a group of animals known as the South Americn camelids. (SAC) The SAC are separted from true ruminants such as sheep and cattle partly because they differ in the struction of their stomachs. Australian Alpaca Association | | | Basics of Alpaca Nutrition | | Nutrition is one of the major keys to animal health. Without a sound nutrition program, an animal will be unable to produce fiber or a cria to its maximum genetic potential. Limitations in the supply of nutrients can and do compromise an animal’s immune system. Therefore, having a working knowledge of the nutrients needed by the animal, and what feeds will supply those nutrients, is one of the most important steps in managing an animal. Dr. Nancy A.
