  At Eastland Alpacas have found Golden Blend Alpaca Supplement to be very beneficial for our herd. The ingredients and processing of this feed is outstanding. Golden Blend has one of the best nutritional alpaca feeds available, and one of the safest. No chemical preservatives, or drugs, are used in any Golden Blend products. This product is designed to provide additional value by increasing reproductive health, breeding success and is specially formulated to promote the healthiest fiber and coat production possible. By using a good quality roughage and Golden Blend Alpaca Feed you will provide these wonderful creatures the optimum levels of minerals for longer and healthier lives. Animals that have their nutritional requirements met will be more content and have lower maintenance and care costs. Every bag has the quality and consistency to guarantee your success!
  Custom Milling Inc, has studied the alpaca at length and have worked with several Universities and Veterinarians to determine what the right feed and mineral formulas should be. Through this research it is now understood what the alpaca producers need to maintain a healthy herd and produce top quality crias. Since alpacas are raised for their fiber, it makes sense that they be on a dietary plan that will ensure that the fiber meets all the required standards for the producers. With this in mind, Custom Milling sought the help of nutritionist's and universities and looked at the other alpaca products that were on the market before developing this formula. Golden Blend Alpaca Feed is an all grain feed made with only natural grain products. Since it contains no animal by products or fillers, your animals digestive system is able to utilize a large portion of the nutrients contained in the feed. The palatable pellets have less dust to minimize choke and cut feed costs.
  For healthy alpacas, research shows that the benefits of supplementing with vitamins and chelated minerals are:
  - Animals are healthier and have a better conception rate
  - Young crias grow at a faster rate
  - Chances of have birthing problems are reduced
  Each vitamin and mineral has been balanced with its counterpart. Selenium plays a major role in the normal development of the fetus during pregnancy and vitality of the newborn. Vitamin E to help protect against "white muscle disease." Zinc is necessary for the mobilization of Vitamin A. A highly available source of organic zinc is added to improve skin condition and promote high quality fiber. If your formula is not balanced, the vitamins and minerals can be locked out.
  Probiotics have been added to help support the digestive system and keep it healthy. The benefits claimed for probiotics are these:
  - Increased growth rate
  - Improved feed conversation
  - Improved resistance to disease
  - Improved milk yield and quality
  You will find that your animals will feel better. Ageing causes many problems in older animals. They absorb less and less nutrients as they age. This is one reason why the probiotics have such a dramatic effect on older animals. Probiotics enable them to utilize more of the nutrients in their feed, pasture and hay. Golden Blend Chelated Alpaca Minerals are very palatable. We have known for years what the universities and leading veterinarians are just learning. It doesn't matter how good your minerals are, if you animals don't eat them, they won't work. If your alpacas do not like minerals, try these. You can feed the minerals free choice or you can top dress the feed. You don't need to add anything else.
