- Mazuri® Grain-Free Hay Enhancer™ Supplement is designed as a concentrated supplement and not a complete feed. It should be fed at 5% of the daily diet to balance potential nutritional deficiencies created by feeding a hay-based diet to elephant and white rhinoceroses.
- Elephant and white rhinoceroses typically eat between 1-3% of their body weight daily, though these amounts vary according to species, age, size, life stage, health status, activity of the animal and the environmental temperatures.
- Example: A 10,000 lbs. elephant (4,545 kg) at maintenance eating 1% of their body weight daily will consume 100 lbs. (45.45k g) of food per day. 5 lbs. (2.27 kg) of the diet will consist of the supplement and the remaining 95 lbs. (43.18 kg) will be hay and/or browse.
- 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/kg body weight. Emcelle® should be provided as a top dressing the dry portion of the diet or may be added 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 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.
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.
