Use the following 2-step equation to determine a daily total-diet feeding rate for large felines, on a dry matter (DM) basis*. If animals are supplemented with other foods, the amount of Mazuri® Exotic Feline Diet, Large offered must be reduced. If feeding meat items, the higher moisture content of these must be factored to ensure inclusion of proper amounts.
- 140 x (kg body weight) 0.75 = Feed intake (kcal/day)
- Feed intake / 3,410 = kilograms of diet to feed daily, DM
- In general, by using equations above, the recommended feed intake will be 1-3% of body weight per day.
- Animals that are growing, reproducing (particularly during late stages of pregnancy), or lactating lactation will have higher needs.
- While these equations are a useful starting point, it is always best to feed to body condition and keep animals at optimal body condition even if that means feeding more, or often less, than the equation would predict.
