Camelibra Active ingredients
Alpacas have a particularly low dry matter intake and eat a maximum of 2% of their body weight per day, which corresponds to around one kg of dry food per day.
For intestinal health and motility, it is very important that the animals eat enough fibrous material and do not gorge themselves on concentrated pellet food, hence the low dosage of Camelibra. No starch-containing ingredients, such as grains, should be fed. These have a detrimental effect on the fiber-degrading bacteria by inhibiting their activity by creating unfavorable acidic conditions in the foregut, which disrupts intestinal health, intestinal motility and gas expulsion.
Active ingredients | Why |
Prebiotics | Prebiotics are special nutrients for the fiber-digesting bacteria in your camelids' foregut. They ensure good digestion and the release of nutrients for growth, reproduction and fertility. |
Bioavailable trace elements | Since alpacas come from toxic, volcanic areas, it is widely believed that they can only survive there due to the very low mineral absorption of their digestive system. This is enough to exist, but a productive, fiber-bearing animal in good condition requires a higher level of absorption and the use of pre-digested trace elements. Tests have already proven that a high zinc content has a positive effect on fiber quality. Selenium yeast has been proven to be 20 times less toxic than inorganic selenium and also easier to absorb, which has very beneficial effects on health. |
Biotin | Macrophage activity, but also prevent the absorption of harmful organisms into the bloodstream. In conjunction with natural, high-quality green fodder, the harmful effects of unnatural molds and other fungi are reduced and the active self-protection mechanism is stimulated. |
Calcium | Indispensable as the main component of bones and for muscle contractions (all movements), for the function of the cell membrane and the regulation of enzymes. |
Carnitine | Improves mitochondrial efficiency and reduces free radicals. Supports heart muscle function, promotes muscle mass and supports joint health. |
Copper | Essential for improving blood circulation and producing collagen, which forms the framework for muscles, organs and connective tissue. |
Folic acid (vitamin B9) | Important for growth and development and helps produce healthy blood cells. |
Iodine | Essential for the production of thyroid hormones. A deficiency of these can lead to lethargy, poor performance, poor fleece quality and infertility. |
Magnesium | Essential for the nervous system and for normal growth and development. Important for regulating muscle contractions and movements. |
Manganese | Essential for the production of chondroitin sulfate to support healthy exercise and the use of fats and carbohydrates for energy. |
Methionine | An essential amino acid. The pseudo-ruminant environment alters organic sources of methionine. By protecting methionine we can ensure that it reaches the small intestine and is absorbed when needed. |
Natural calcium and magnesium carbonate | Natural buffering material helps stabilize pH in the foregut and promotes the development of beneficial fiber-digesting bacteria. This is important when feeding grain-based feeds because starch is converted to lactic acid, which can increase acidity and create an unfavorable environment for the fiber-digesting bacteria. |
Niacin (Vitamin B3) | Important for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, cellular respiration and DNA repair. |
Oligosaccharides (mannan) (prebiotics) | Essential for improving blood circulation and producing collagen, which forms the framework for muscles, organs and connective tissue. Oligosaccharides not only support the immune system through a high natural proportion of macrophage activity, but also prevent the absorption of harmful organisms into the bloodstream. In conjunction with natural, high-quality green fodder, the harmful effects of unnatural molds and other fungi are reduced and the active self-protection mechanism is stimulated. |
Omega-3 fatty acids | Anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids provide a daily source of essential fat components and, together with inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, ensure the right nutritional balance. Omega-3 fatty acids are also found in large concentrations in spermatozoa and are essential for maintaining cell wall integrity and preventing moisture/dampness. Loss of oil from the skin. Healthy skin means high-quality fiber production. |
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) | Important for the synthesis of coenzyme A in the body, which is essential for fatty acid metabolism. |
phosphorus | Essential for growth, bone and tooth development and supports urinary tract health. |
Potassium | Supports fat and carbohydrate metabolism as well as nerve and muscle control. |
Salt: sodium chloride | An important electrolyte that regulates body fluids in cells and is essential for the movement of nerve impulses throughout the body. |
Seaweed meal | Rich in potassium and, among other trace elements, a good source of iodine. Helps maintain good bacteria in the digestive tract. |
Selenium | An important antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin E. |
Sulfur | Supports collagen production in the body and has antioxidant properties. |
Toxin binder | A blend of microscopic absorbent compounds that support the natural elimination of antagonists found in feed and the environment. |
Vitamin A (retinyl acetate) | Essential for healthy eyesight, strong bone structure, good fertility and an active immune system. |
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) | Supports nerve pathways, appetite and muscle strength |
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) | Promotes appetite, growth and healthy skin. |
Vitamin B6 | Helps with protein metabolism, growth and cognitive functions. |
Vitamin B12 | Essential for the utilization of amino acids; involved in the production of red blood cells and the integrity of the nervous system. |
Vitamin C | Vitamin C directly influences the extent of tissue growth and development as well as the maintenance of the body's immune system. Essential for the production of collagen in the body, which forms the matrix of connective tissue. |
Vitamin D3 | Crucial for bone development. Also important for the immune system, fertility and insulin secretion. |
Vitamin E (Alpha-Tocopherol) | Ein biologisches Antioxidans und unerlässlich für ein gesundes Fortpflanzungs-, Muskel-, Kreislauf-, Nerven- und Immunsystem. Hat Anti-Aging-Eigenschaften. |
Vitamin K | Supports optimal liver function and is important for the blood clotting process. |
Yeast cultures | Yeast cultures help stabilize pH levels in the foregut and promote the development of beneficial fiber-digesting bacteria. This is important when feeding grain-based feeds because starch is converted to lactic acid, which can increase acidity and create an unfavorable environment for the fiber-digesting bacteria. Significantly improve the digestibility of phosphorus from regular feed. |
zinc | Essential for fiber quality and keratin production. Supports insulin production, wound healing and the immune system. |

The Oatinol® releaseThe Oatinol ® release system
All of the listed nutrients must be absorbed by the camelids' digestive tract. Oatinol offers natural antioxidants, polar lipids, beta-glucans and galactolipid emulsifiers, which are not only necessary for maintaining intestinal cell integrity, but also support the inner intestinal walls and immune system and promote the absorption of nutrients, vitamins and trace elements.
