The best food for elephants is the rice of Navara, Vrihi and cennellu. Yava and wheat are next to the above. Any other food is inferior to these. Yava and sugarcane will give strength to elephants. Dry yava rice is not good. Milk and meat cooked with carminative ingredients are good for elephants who have gone lean.
