Zupreem Primate Diet Dry

Primate Diet Dry

Growing animals can be fed free choice. Mature primates

will consume approximately 1 lb. of diet per 35 lbs. of body

weight (3%) per day.The correct quantity fed is one that

maintains an appropriate body composition as assessed by

the primate professional.

It is not necessary to provide a supplemental source of vitamin

C with this diet, if the diet is fed within one year of the date of

manufacture. It is also not necessary to supplement this diet

with fruits or vegetables that may upset the balance of the diet.

Great care should be taken to limit the amount of fresh

produce fed, as many of these food items are very palatable

but have limited nutritional value to the primate. Primate

professionals may want to use fruits and vegetables in limited

quantities as a behavioral enrichment experience.

Most primates will readily accept ZuPreem Primate Diet Dry.

If the animal is reluctant to accept the diet, the biscuits can

be soaked in fruit juice to increase palatability or to improve

mouth feel. Remove any unconsumed moistened food within

four hours.

Because of the complementary nutrient profiles, Primate Diet

dry can be mixed with ZuPreem Primate Diet canned if a diet

with a different texture or moisture content is desired, or

for variety.

This diet can also be used to provide nutrition to sick, disabled,

or geriatric primates by grinding Primate Diet Dry biscuits into

a fine meal. Mix the meal with warm water or another liquid,

and feed using a syringe or other feeding device.The ground

meal also can be sprinkled over other foodstuffs during

conversion to dry whole biscuits.

Note - As an indicator of health, always monitor for changes

in weight and body condition. Provide adequate amounts of

food to maintain body condition, preventing excessive thinness

or obesity.

Always provide clean, fresh water.
