I know they sell Purina Cat Chow and Purina Dog Chow, but how about Bison Chow, for those who keep pet bisons?

Don't bisons eat grass or cotton candy or something?


*edit* There's a Purina ad on the right side of my screen, HA!

Bison are quite fond of sweet mix, or 4 way, and Purina used to make a Chow for them, but I have not been to the feed store for sometime now.
but you might be interested to know that they also used to make Emu Chow.

EDIT: Purina has an exotic line of food now, it is called MAZURI,
and amazingly enough they do not have a Bison, mix, however you would be suprised at what they do have,

Many people don't realize that purina actually has livestock mills. They formulate concentrated feeds for all sorts of species. They don't have anything specific for bison, but they do have products for cattle. I don't know of any special feed considerations for bison, but they are very similar to domestic cattle. I've been to one of the mills near my school, it's pretty neat.
Here is their website:

They have categories for both cattle and dairy at the top. I would imagine if you fed something for older dairy calves, that would have about the right amount of nutrition.

Hey, they might. They make a monkey chow and chow for many pther animals, so maybe there is a big market for Bison Chow!!

No, bison are fed like cows, they eat commercial sweet feed and hay, and lots of grass.
