Episode notes

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!

Alpacas are semi-ruminant. That means they have multiple stomach compartments (three) and chew the cud. This kind of digestion is similar to cows and sheep which are the ruminants most people know about. These are not separate stomachs but compartments. This seems amazingly simple to my alpacas but I can't easily get my head around how it all works the way it should.

Definitely worth spending time with your alpacas watching this part of an important process we may be overlooking.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.
