Aanvullend advies
- Divide the “Feed quantity per day” over at least three feeding moments per day.
- Provide the less palatable feed components at the beginning of the day to reduce selective feeding.
- The browse used in the diet can be a mixture between dried and fresh browse (read more about browsers and grazers).
- The provided roughage should be an even mixture between lucerne and grass hay.
- Feeding fruits might lead to abnormal fermentation in the hindgut because of high sugar levels (read more about nutritional values of (wild) fruits and vegetables).
- Provide feed enrichment by scatter feeding or by using feeding puzzles, tubes, hanging baskets, boxes or balls (read more about feed enrichment and foraging behaviour).
