Premier Select Alpaca/Llama Formula

Premier Select Alpaca Formula is a true colostrum supplement formulated specifically for crias. It contains natural maternal bovine colostrum with essential vitamins and minerals for crias.

Colostrum: Why is it important?

When crias are born, their immune systems are not fully developed. Crias rely on immunity being passed to them through their mother and the first milk she produces. This first milk is called colostrum and it contains many of the immune and growth factors necessary for life. The health and survival of newborn crias are greatly dependent on the ingestion of colostrum after birth.

It is extremely important to provide high quality colostrum within the first 24 hours when the cria’s ability to absorb the antibodies is at its peak. The immunity factors present in colostrum will help protect the cria until their own body is able to produce antibodies independently.

Colostrum: Why specie-specific formulas?

Bovine colostrum is ideal for the substitution or supplementation of maternal colostrum. While bovine colostrum may provide a nutritional base for a variety of species, there are still specie-specific nutritional requirements needed.

In cooperation with breeders, distributors, and research specialists, La Belle has introduced a line of scientifically formulated products based on bovine colostrum but nutritionally tailored for other mammals, including alpaca and llamas. Starting with a bovine colostrum base, vitamins, minerals, and cria-compatible probiotics are added.
