Deer are creatures of adaptation. Their behavior, physiology, and nutritional needs change with the seasons. As a deer manager, understanding these seasonal variations in nutrient requirements is key to ensuring a healthy herd. In this blog post, we’ll delve into how these nutritional needs shift throughout the year and how AntlerXtreme’s All-N-One deer feed can help meet these changing demands.
- Understanding Seasonal Nutrient Needs:
During the spring and summer, deer are in a growth phase. Bucks are developing antlers, and does are gestating or lactating. As such, they require high protein levels and increased quantities of certain vitamins and minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, for antler growth and fawn development.
As autumn approaches, the focus shifts towards energy storage for the coming winter. During this time, deer require a diet rich in carbohydrates and fats to build fat reserves.
In winter, the goal is survival. Nutrient demands drop considerably, but a basic level of nutrition is still needed to maintain body condition and support vital functions.
- The Challenge with Seasonal Variations:
Addressing these seasonal variations can be challenging. Natural forage often fails to provide the required nutrients during certain periods, and food scarcity during the winter can further compound the issue.
