| | | gradually increase | Explanation:
I would say "gradually increase the amount of feed." Nothing incorrect about "slowly," but I raise animals and am familiar with the language on these labels...and FEED, not FOOD. It's the same difference as German "Futter" and "Essen," i.e., one's for people, the other's for animals, although oddly enough, they do say food in English for many pets (dogfood, catfood, fishfood, etc.), but it's usually feed for farm animals (livestock). |
