Pacific Sun Alpacas, Duncan, BC

Alpacas are uniquely positioned to become leaders as the most eco-friendly livestock species ever! Alpacas have the ability to get every morsel of food value out of their feed which creates a much smaller carbon foot print because they eat lesser amount of hay and grain.

Their efficient digestive systems reduce pressure on pastures and their padded feet minimize damage to the land. They keep their pastures cleaner because of their ability to share communal dung piles. Their manure can go right into gardens with no composting needed, with no burning and very little weeds grow from it. Because alpacas are rarely sick we do not use a lot of medications, so even their manure is cleaner than a lot of regular livestock's manure.
