Autumn – winter diet of Kyiv zoo animals

?❄ Preparing for winter is not only warming the premises, but also changes in the diet of zoo animals:
✔️ first of all, feed portions have been increased by 10-15%;
✔️ secondly, it is the replacement of seasonal green mass with dried herbs, dried fruits, berry and fruit jam, compotes, frozen vegetables and fruits, etc;
✔️ and thirdly, an increase in vitamin and mineral supplements, because a balanced and healthy diet is the key to the health of our animals ??

? Before hibernation, bears get fat on honey and peanuts, carrots and pumpkins, fish and meat, autumn berries and fruits.

?? Primates in cozy warm enclosures drink compotes and tea with lemon, eat baked pumpkins, nuts and dried fruits.

??? Birds flock to a mixture of various cereals, seeds, boiled eggs, mineral supplements and vitamins.

??? The ungulates feast on fragrant meadow hay, taste vegetable gifts of autumn and vitamin granulated fodder. And real “gourmets” spices up their dishes with salt lollipop ?

New approaches to work were introduced this year. So now each department grows fresh greens, natural vegetables, fruits and berries in their own gardens, greenhouses and gardens ????

We do our best to make every zoo animal feel comfortable, warm and satiated ?
