Okapi johnstoni
Natuurlijk dieet Okapi
Okapis are very selective herbivorous browsers. They consume leaves, fruits, seeds, ferns and fungi, but prefer to browse on light-dependent vegetation (tree seedlings, shrubs and vines) in small forest openings. They have a long, flexible tongue that helps to strip leaves of branches and reach the vegetation under the dense underbrush.

Aanvullend advies
- Divide the “Feed quantity per day” over at least two feeding moments per day.
- It is important to offer forage items that can be manipulated by the tongue.
- Supplement the diet with ad libitum roughage (read more about browsers and grazers).
- The browse used in the diet can be a mixture between dried and fresh browse.
- In the winter months, either dried, frozen (thawed) branches or leaf silage should be provided.
- Feeding fruits might lead to might lead to gastro-intestinal disturbances because of the high sugar level and low fiber level in cultivated fruits compared to wild fruits (read more about nutritional values of (wild) fruits and vegetables).
