Providing of the supplementary feeding to the animals in reserves is the most necessary in the dry season, when food resources are considerably limited and fences protecting animals from hunters and predators are also a barrier to prevent natural herd migration. The local staff also assist in herd monitoring and identification.

Elands receive nutritionally balanced and high-quality supplementary diet from local fields in the form of peanut hay and pellets. In dry season, 45 bags of peanut hay are delivered daily to the Bandia Reserve. During the season, it is possible to obtain the pods of the acacia (Faidherbia albida; formerly Acacia albida), which is a delicacy for Derby elands. We also provide mineral licks.
