- Use the following 2-step equation to determine daily total-diet feeding rate for small felines, on a dry matter (DM) basis*.
- If animals are supplemented with other foods, the amount of Mazuri® Exotic Feline Diet – Small offered must be reduced.
- If feeding meat items, the higher moisture content of these must be factored to ensure inclusion at proper amounts.
Daily Total-Diet Feeding Rate
- Feed Intake (kcal/day) = 140 x (kg body weight) 0.75
- Feed Intake/3,835 = kg of diet to feed daily, DM-basis
- In general, by using the 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 will have higher needs.
- While these equations are a useful starting point, it is always best to feed based on body condition and keep animals at optimal body condition, even if that means feeding more, or often less, than the equation would predict.
- Always provide plenty of fresh, clean water. Thoroughly wash feed and water bowls on a regular basis. It is always good practice to wash hands thoroughly after feeding and/or handling animals. This diet is not for human consumption.
*Recommendations for exotic felines range from 55 - 260 kcal x kg BW (NRC of Dogs and Cats, 2006.)
Storage Conditions
For best results, reseal the bag between uses or store contents of open paper sack in container with sealing lid. Store in a cool (75⁰F/24⁰C or colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location free from rodents and insects. Do not offer moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may result in illness, performance loss or death. Freezing will not harm the diet and may extend freshness. Use within 1 year of bag manufacturing or "Best if Used By" date.
