This visit was extremely disappointing and depressing. The space for the animals was extremely limited and their surroundings were filthy, lots of stagnant and dirty water and very poorly kept. Bee…Full review by SR2010_10

I don't actually know the answer to that, sorry. When we were viewing the elephant talk and feed, the zoo keeper didn't offer the public the chance to throw the foods into the enclosure. However, visitor rules on their website state "in order to protect animal health and human health, feeding most of the animals is prohibited. However, certain animals are allowed to be fed with zoo biscuits, special fodder sold specifically for that purpose. Warning signs indicate the animals that can be fed." I can imagine the zoo biscuits are for the farm animals. Hopefully that helps!
