Feed for grazing and browsing herbivores

Naturally the best.

BOSKOS is a complete, natural feed trusted by zoos, wildlife reserves and specialists worldwide. At the heart of the range is PREBICEL™ – a functional fibre made from the whole acacia plant.

The BOSKOS cycle

From acacia to animal.

Every bag of BOSKOS begins with acacia harvested from encroaching bushveld in Thabazimbi. This is processed into PREBICEL™ and carefully blended with selected raw materials, to form a complete feed developed around the digestive needs of grazing and browsing herbivores. Here’s how it works:

PREBICEL™

It starts with acacia.

PREBICEL™ is a functional fibre made from the whole acacia plant, including its leaves, fine branches and woody stems. Acacia’s composition may naturally contain fibre fractions with prebiotic potential.

About PREBICEL →
Gut health

Built around the rumen.

Each part of the acacia plant contributes different fibre properties. Leaves provide readily fermentable fibre, fine branches contribute to balanced fibre composition, and woody stems provide structure that encourages chewing and saliva production. Together, they form a functional fibre matrix designed to support rumen function and digestion.

Why prebiotics matter →
The feed

Balanced into a complete diet.

PREBICEL™ is combined with molasses, phosphates, maize, hominy chop, lucerne, sunflower and soy oil cake, together with a full vitamin and mineral pack, to create a complete, fixed-formulation feed.

For the land

Closer to nature. Better for the land.

BOSKOS is born in the Thabazimbi bushveld, where encroaching acacia is cleared to help restore the natural grassland ecosystem. Rather than going to waste, the cleared acacia is processed into functional fibre for BOSKOS, giving it a new purpose in feeding grazing and browsing herbivores.

“Since we added BOSKOS game pellets to our herbivore diets, the animals readily accept it and thrive. It very closely resembles their natural diet.”
