Reformulated Diets for Today’s Alpaca
The U.S. alpaca industry is advancing—moving toward larger animals with greater fiber production—so Mazuri is helping meet those demands with updated alpaca formulas.
Mazuri feeds are now better formulated to meet the evolving needs of alpacas raised for show, fiber production or companionship. Mazuri worked with U.S. alpaca farms to research animal needs and make formula adjustments to improve specific nutrient levels in its alpaca feeds.
