"MSE products have been a part of my alpaca
feeding program for the past five years. I use the MSE granular
as a top dressing on the alpaca pellets daily for all my animals
and the tubes of MSE paste during show season.
 While
my choice of pellet formulation has changed several times based on
research and concerns over synthetic additives/preservatives,
using MSE granular has not. Alpacas experience more episodes of
stress then we realize from a variety of sources, weaning,
regrouping animals (whether it be herd additions or deletions),
showing, open ranch days, vet visits etc. A healthy rumen and
intestinal track goes a long way to provide each animal with a
good foundation for optimum health. It can be easy when times are
tough financially to cut out what is perceived to be an "optional"
additive in your daily feeding practices. I do not consider this
product optional and the gift of a healthy immune system is the
best one I can offer my animals as a responsible shepherd."

""I would like to say, "thank you,"
for making MSE. I find it to be a very valuable tool.
My experience has been that by keeping my alpacas' guts loaded
with the "good guys," I think they have much fewer problems with
parasites. I top-dress their feed with about a teaspoon, 2x
daily, which seems to be enough to do the trick. Any (rare!)
course of antibiotics is followed with a course of the paste.
I had a weanling male that I had put
in with my old gelding, Bandit, as a companion. [See picture
below. Apparently, he is only mean to
alpaca youngsters]. He was apparently picking on the youngster
who developed an ulcer. I suspected the ulcer as I usually
do:
noticed that he was off his feed, yet looked interested when
offered pellets, only to refuse them. He was still
eating forage and hay. After about 3 days of this, I
concluded that he had developed an ulcer from the nasty
treatment by my old boy, who was now residing in another area.
I decided to try large doses of MSE, based on the same premise
as above, in addition to removing the stress of Bandit. He
started eating some pellets within 3 days, and was eating
normally by the end of a week. I dosed him with 5 cc. of
the paste twice a day. I continued this treatment for
another week or so, just to be sure we had taken care of the
problem. It worked.
I have recommended this product
numerous times to clients and people on chat groups. It is a
great one!" Cheers,
Jo Overbey

Emery, Brookfarm - Alpacas in the Valley of the Moon,

"At Brookfarm ~ Alpacas in the Valley of the
Moon, we use MSE as a part of our overall health maintenance regime for
our alpacas and often times with our Maremma livestock guardian dogs. Just a
sprinkle over the daily ration of pellets has kept all our animals healthy
and thriving. It makes good sense to feed a high quality diet to these
beautiful animals, especially with the harvest of luxurious alpaca fleece
and fiber; which we use for
 our own spinning and knitting projects, and also
send out to mills for processing into our yarn and rugs for farm sales. We
keep MSE paste on hand at all times and it has come in handy on the rare
occasion when an alpaca seems a bit off. It is part of our show travel
supplies as well for use before we leave for the show and a daily dose each
day away and for a couple of days when we return. We have yet to experience
any ills from showing our animals and have actually brought home a reserve
champion ribbon with our award winning herdsire Brookfarm�s P. Rock of
Gibraltar, aka Rocky [in photo above]. We highly recommend MSE dry and paste for healthy
alpacas! "

 " I
have not used MSE so much to help an animal recover from illness or injury but
originally used it when I had an orphaned cria [Copper Penny, see photo] who had
trouble putting on weight. The MSE [granulated] seemed to help his overall
health and weight gain and now the entire herd (over 20) gets it twice a week
for maintenance. I also give it more often to show animals prior to going to
shows. Just a little background so you are more familiar with how I use it. I
have also recommended it to other breeders who are now also using it."

" Delighted to hype the benefits of MSE as you can see from your records I
have purchased more than once. So obviously if the product didn't work you would
not see Six Paca purchasing repeatedly. In the latest case we had a small built
female who had had two previous cria but this time the cria was exceptionally
large and she developed toxemia. Unlike the human female she did not get swollen
ankles but it was toxic to her body. After loosing the cria at birth she was
weak and failed to take adequate nourishment. Once she had been treated by our
very capable vet he suggested the MSE paste to stimulate her appetite. The
female (Haley, picture above) is now back to regular 120 pound weight and in line daily for feed along
with the rest of the herd."
