BOSKOS ™ is a primary game feed produced from natural bushveld
Acacias and a natural source of prime food for herbivores in the wild.

Benefits of feeding Boskos

BOSKOS Organic Feed, is the closest feed to the natural diet of
   herbivores and is suitable for gazers and browsers.
◘ It is pelletised to avoid selective eating, minimise wastage, and
   provides ease of handling and extended shelf life.
◘ Conveniently packaged in 50kg or 25kg bags for easy storage and
   transportation.

With the addition of carefully formulated natural
supplements, the Boskos (bush food) produced from
Acacia and palletized, is now a staple diet, especially
as a winter grazing supplement, in zoos, havens for
endangered species, national parks and game

Features of Boskos

ACCEPTING that Acacia is a basic natural diet for wild animals, the
fibre and nutrient content of Acacia bush as a natural source of animal
feed has been subjected to exhaustive examination and test.

The harvest is rich in natural trace elements, drawn from deep in the
earth by the root systems, and retained in the processing of the final
product. Boskos nutrients and fibres, as organic elements, are
immediately available in a herbivore's metabolism, which assists with
easier digestion.

Zookeepers have found that herbivores in captivity instinctively appear
to recognise Boskos for what it is, a foodstuff that is natural to them.

It can be supplied as required to game in the wild or, in the case of
'caged' animals, roughage or grazing (teff or eragrostis) must be
available to supply effective long fibre.
