In general, a 2:1 to 1:1 calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is optimal. The actual amount of phosphorus needed depends on sex, age and season, but it's thought to range from 0.2-0.4 percent in the diet. This said, we recommend higher levels of phosphorous and calcium in our feed, since it is a supplement.
20 lut 2017 · Research shows granular minerals facilitate increased consumption by animals as they’re able to literally eat (vs. lick) the mixture. There are commercial and “homemade” granular mixes available. What does all this mean to the average deer hunter and manager?
3 sty 2023 · My rule of thumb is to add 10-20% fat when making venison burgers. The 90-10 ratio will produce a lean patty, whereas an 80/20 will be richer. On the other hand, an authentic sausage should be succulent. Fat is fundamental to creating a juicy product.
30 cze 2013 · Putting out minerals for whitetails is a popular strategy used by hunters to either aid in herd health or attract deer to a particular location. But can minerals actually achieve these goals? The research isn’t always 100% clear. Here’s what we know, what we don’t, and a few things to keep in mind...
Making sure deer get the balanced nutrition they need year-round can result in optimal antler growth and health, maximizing production and profitability. Learn how to balance deer nutrition with a wildlife feed that provides all the nutrient classes in proper amounts.
11 kwi 2016 · The next-highest component of antler is phosphorus, which makes up about 11 percent of the finished product. So any diet containing at least a 2:1 calcium:phosphorus ratio should be beneficial to deer. Of course, there are minimum needs, established as 0.4 percent calcium and 0.3 percent phosphorus.
Micro-nutrients include: iron (Fe), copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), iodine (I) and selenium (Se). While all these minerals are important, we quickly learned that Ca and P in particular had a lot to do with the size of deer and their antlers. A 1:1 or 2:1 Ca:P ratio is optimum.
