I would compost the material first if possible, and wouldn't use it to make a tea, but it should be high in N.

i would add water to the camel poo, its probably a bit dry since camels go for days without drinking water. haha. ok had to have a little fun. ok seriously do you know what camels eat? i don't. what kinda digestive system do they have? something to take into consideration. i think the better they chew it up the better the poo. as far as alpaca poo i think it is ok to apply green but composted is best.

Keep in mind that your manures will contain pathogens. If you're making teas out of the, you could potentially be feeding the biology you don't want (e. coli, salmonella, etc...). My recommendation would be to not spray them on any edibles if you're unsure.

Camels have three chambered stomach. They have very efficient digestion which means lower nutrient levels(compared to horse) and no weed seeds.It should be good compost once its been composted.An alpaca is a smallish type camel-their poop looks like giant rabbit pellets-should be good stuff
