BIG CAT SUPPLEMENT

 
 

Big Cat Supplement provides nutritional aspects which may be lacking or absent in the diet of large carnivorous mammals.  It provides balanced levels of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and carotenoids to animals fed a primarily meat diet.  Large felines including lions, tigers, leopards and cheetah will benefit from the addition of Big Cat Supplement.  It can also be fed to canines such as wolves and hunting dogs and to species of bears which have a high proportion of meat in their diet.

Average nutrient levels were established from published data for beef, lamb, horse, venison, rabbit and chicken meat.  On average a varied meat diet contains adequate quantities of essential amino acids, phytomenadione (vitamin K), choline, potassium, sodium and selenium.  Big Cat Supplement provides the difference between NRC recommendations for cats and the deficit in meat for the nutrients listed.

To supplement an all meat diet, apply 25g (1 level scoop) to each kg of meat.  This can be done by slicing open the portion of meat and inserting the supplement into the cut.

Available in 10kg and 20kg packs
