Why Should I Feed Fibregest to My Alpaca or Llama?
Soluble fibre in 3mm pellet form is ideal for both young and old alike. The small particle size (like feed that has been chewed for a long time) aids the digestive system of the camelid by providing a high quality, more available, energy source for fermentative foregut bacteria.
Maintaining natural foregut digestion is crucial for the health and vitality of alpacas and llamas. The nature of the feed can have dramatic effects on wellbeing, as all food goes straight into the fermentation vat of the forestomach where factors like motility, gas eructation, regurgitation, remastication and reswallowing are all part of the normal feeding process.
Fibregest is very complementary to this digestive process in terms of the nutritional, physical and supplementary content. The digestibility of the soluble fibre will energize microbial activity, so maintaining a high rate of nutrient release for the benefit of the camelid. The criteria for maintaining functional fermentation:
- A constant pH of between 6 and 7, i.e. slightly acidic to neutral conditions.
- A high fibre and low/non grain diet to sustain populations of cellulolytic bugs.
- A high fibre diet to maintain saliva production, gut motility and gas eructation.
- A high fibre diet to maximise regurgitation, remastication and reswallowing.
Explained - Nutraceuticals & the Oatinol® Delivery System™
Explained - The 10 Active Nutraceuticals in Fibregest
Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.
Calcium
Essential as a major constituent of bones and required for muscle contractions (all movement), cell membrane function and enzyme regulation.
Copper (Protected)
Essential for improving blood flow and for the production of collagen, which provides the framework for muscles, organs and connective tissues.
Manganese (Protected)
Essential for the production of chondroitin sulphate to aid healthy movement and the utilisation of fats and carbohydrates for energy.
Phosphorous
Essential for growth, bone & teeth development, and supports urinary tract health.
Seaweed Meal
High in potassium and a good source of iodine along with other trace elements. Helps sustain good bacteria in the digestive tract.
Selenium (Protected)
An important antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin E.
Sodium Bicarbonate
A natural buffering agent to help neutralise acid loads in the stomach.
Vitamin C
Essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals. It directly affects the level of tissue growth and development and the maintenance of the body's immune system.
Vitamin E
A biological antioxidant and essential for healthy reproductive, muscular, circulatory, nervous and immune systems. Has anti-ageing properties.
Zinc (Protected)
Essential for keratin production and hoof integrity. Supports insulin production, wound healing and the immune system.
Explained - The 4 Active Nutraceuticals in the Oatinol Delivery System
Nutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.
Oatinol is a natural high quality oil based concept developed by and unique to GWF Nutrition. When incorporated into the feed it supplies the following four active nutraceuticals to:
- Maintain gut cell integrity.
- Maintain the lining of the gut.
- Support the immune system.
- Aid the absorption of active ingredients, vitamins and trace elements.
Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers
Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall.
Natural Tocotrienol Antioxidants
Tocotrienol antioxidants are a natural form of vitamin E. They are 40-60 times more readily available than other forms of vitamin E and help to maintain the integrity of the cells forming the lining of the gut to aid absorption.
Oat Derived Beta Glucans
Beta Glucans have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption.
Phospholipids
Phospholipids have emulsifying properties and have been shown to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption.
Daily Feeding Recommendation
- For best results, mix with Camelibra or Hembra & Cria.
