PRIMATE MEAL

Primates eat a variety of leaves, fruits, nuts, insects and other sources of animal protein.  Primate Meal provides vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, essential amino acids and fatty acids that may be lacking in the captive diet.  Primate Meal is usually fed as a cake and should represent from 20 to 40% of the diet.

Preparation of Primate Cake

Puree 800g of mixed fruits in a suitable food processor (e.g. apple, banana, orange, carrot, pineapple, pear or other available fruits).  Add 300ml of water to the puree and mix thoroughly at a slow speed.  Weigh 1200g of Primate Meal into a basin then slowly work the fruit puree into the meal to form a moist dough.  Flatten the dough into a cake tin at a thickness of about 1cm and then freeze.  Once the cake is set it can be sliced into useable squares.  Cake may be stored frozen up to 2 weeks.
