Introduction

A super soluble digestible fibre feed for all alpacas, llamas and camels.

 

Fibregest is a combination of digestible “super soluble” fibres derived from cooked sugar beet pulp, alfalfa leaf meal and lean black oats, together with added seaweed meal, bio-availalbe minerals, vitamin E and Oatinol.

 

Key Benefits:

• Provides digestible fibres to maintain healthy foregut microbial digestion.

• Provides a source of digestible soluble fibres.

• Maintains essential foregut microbial fermentation.

• Sustains beneficial fibre-digesting bacteria.

• Provides energy for health and conditioning.

• Provides natural trace elements and bio-available minerals.

• Provides the perfect partner for Camelibra NG-1.

• Contains the Oatinol Delivery System to maintain a healthy digestive tract and a high rate of absorption of essential nutricines, vitamins and trace elements.In the foregut, the normal passage of feed from the mouth to hindgut takes 2 - 3 hours.

Alpacas and llamas, like other camelids, have symbiotic relationships with their fore-stomach microflora. They provide a safe, warm, oxygen free environment in exchange for the end products of bacterial fermentation. No mammal on earth is able to produce enzymes that can digest cellulose, hence the natural development of this form of digestion where beneficial bacteria provide the means. The numbers are staggering, with each millilitre of fermentative soup containing up to 50 billion microbes. However, even though the statistics are huge, the balance of this microbial environment can be on a knife-edge.

The criteria for maintaining functional fermentation :

• A constant pH of between 6 and 7, i.e. slightly acidic to neutra 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.

The provision of digestible soluble fibre from good vegetable sources like alfalfa and extracted sugar beet, that are complementary to forestomach fermentative digestion, can only be beneficial for both camelid and cellulolytic bacteria alike. The feeding of a high quality, complementary substrate rather than an incompatible source like cereal starch can only make logical sense.

Soluble fibre in 3mm pellet form is ideal for both young and old alike. The fact that the particle size is small (as if it had 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.

Fibregest from is caviar to microbes and is an excellent complement to Camelibra NG-1 and the natural digestive system of your alpaca, llama or camel.

Contains the Oatinol^® Delivery System

 

For all of the above nutricines to be utilised, they have to be absorbed from the camelids’ digestive tract. Oatinol supplies natural antioxidants, polar lipids, beta glucans and galactolipid emulsifiers, required to maintain gut cell integrity, maintain the lining of the gut, support the immune system and aid the absorption of nutricines, vitamins and trace elements.

Nutricine	Why We Use It

Oatinol - Galactolipid Natural Emulsifiers

Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that help establish the perfect medium for enzyme activity in the gut to absorb feed components.

Oatinol - Natural Tocotrienol Antioxidants

Tocotrienol antioxidants are found naturally in oat bran. This tocotrienol form of vitamin E is 40 to 60 times more readily recycled in membrane systems and supports tissue integrity.

Oatinol - Oat Derived Beta Glucans

Beta glucans provide nourishment for beneficial fibre degrading microbes and helps maintain a high level of natural immunity.

Oatinol - Polar Lipids

Polar lipids are found in high concentrations in cell membranes and are essential for tissue integrity and the controlled passage of materials into and out of cells.
