Description

Feed 10 pounds per animal per day to adult elephants with 90 pounds of hay.
Offer hay and/or browse at a level to provide the remainder of the diet.  Animals generally should be fed 1-3% of body weight per day.

The amount of diet the animal requires will vary according to its species, age, size, life stage, health status and activity of the animal and the environmental temperature.

If supplemental vitamin E is desired, we recommend the use of Emcelle® Tocopherol (0010111), a micellized, water-dispersible vitamin E solution. The recommended usage of Emcelle® Tocopherol is 2-6 IU per kg body weight. Emcelle® should be provided as a top dressing to the dry portion of the diet or may be provided in drinking water. Supplemental vitamin E may be desired, for the following reasons:

low plasma tocopherol levels (below 0.2 mg per dL), continual confinement feeding of animals, feeding poor quality, long-stored roughages, feeding milk replacers that contain tocopheryl-acetate, feeding high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Always provide animal with plenty of fresh, clean water.
