Phyllostachys pubescens is an important plant source in panda's diet, which contains high nutritional value, including cellulose and minerals needed by pandas. Purple bamboo also helps pandas maintain the health of their mouth and stomach, and helps pandas digest and absorb nutrients.
Besides purple bamboo, pandas eat many other bamboo varieties, including arrow bamboo, Phyllostachys pubescens and edible bamboo. These bamboos not only provide pandas with the nutrition they need, but also help them grind their teeth and strengthen their jaws, which helps them stay healthy and strong.
It is worth noting that pandas generally have allergic reactions to some plants such as bamboo, so their recipes should be determined according to the actual situation of pandas. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the bamboo provided to pandas is clean, fresh and pollution-free, so as to avoid bringing adverse health effects to pandas.
At present, there is no bamboo that pandas don't eat. It generally likes to eat tender stems, shoots, bamboo shoots and sometimes bamboo leaves. Generally high bamboo, long-term old bamboo does not eat. Artificial feeding, the staple food is mostly cold arrow bamboo, orange bamboo and other bamboo shoots. In addition, in order to make up for nutrition, carrots, white radishes, apples, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pears, bananas, cucumbers, white gourd, tender corn, milk and so on were added.
In short, wild giant pandas mainly feed on the tender and brittle parts of bamboo, and can eat food suitable for them when food is scarce.
