Feeding and Mixing Directions
Mazuri® Primate LS Gel is designed to be an essential part of a total primate feeding system and may be used in
conjunction with all of the Mazuri® primate products. Gel should not be fed at more than 50% of the total diet. Care should
be taken when using supplemental dietary ingredients to ensure that nutrient requirements are met.
• Feed intake will vary based on age, body size and reproductive status. A targeted level would be 2% to 4% food intake
per kg of animal by body weight per day (dry matter basis). This level of food intake should be achieved by feeding up
to 50% Gel diet, up to 75% of the total diet as dry Mazuri® biscuit, and plenty of fresh produce (primarily vegetables).
• Never feed dry powder without first combining with water.
• Mixing directions:
1. Mix, by weight, 70% boiling water to 30% Mazuri® Gel Powder.
2. Mix thoroughly with a spoon, fork or whisk for at least one minute, then pour into a shallow pan and allow to cool.
Refrigerate until firm.
3. Cut into pieces appropriately sized for the animals being fed.
4. Prepared gel may be fed for one week if refrigerated and may be kept frozen for up to one month. Repeated
thawing of prepared product is discouraged. Mixed product should be handled like raw food.
Important: A feeding program is only as effective as the management practices followed. Use only as directed.

Gel2
Mazuri® Gel Diets have a 1-year shelf life in the dry powder form when stored in a dry environment. For best results, tightly
affix lid on canister after removal of desired dosage or store contents of open bags in container with sealing lid. Store in a
cool (75oF/24oC or colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location free from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insectinfested
feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death. The mixed product should be stored under
refrigeration for no longer than 7 days or frozen for up to 1 month. It is recommended that frozen batches be individually
sealed in amount of usage, as repeated entry into the container exposes gel to oxygen. Once this product is mixed, it
should be handled like raw food.
