Alpacas are what’s known as semi-ruminants. They have 3 stomach compartments referred to very excitingly as C-1, C-2 and C-3. These chambers are what allow them to make the most of very little, fermenting and absorbing plant fibres and absorbing nutrients super efficiently.

We often get asked the same questions about our alpaca walks by our farm visitors so we thought we'd answer them here for anyone who's interested in joining us on a walk.
