Most of us take vitamins & minerals to enhance our overall health and wellness. A pregnant woman will take pre-natal vitamins to increase her health along with the health of her growing baby. We give our children vitamins and minerals to maintain their health, wellness and help them grow up strong. Deer have fluctuating nutrient requirements during different times of the year. Sometimes during the
year nutrients are easily accessible to deer. Other times deer will die or maintain drastic levels of malnutrition. LowcountryDM can be used to provide deer with the constant availability of critical vitamins and minerals which allows you to provide beneficial nutrient concentrations during these critical times. Bucks:
A Whitetail buck’s antlers are comprised mostly of Calcium and Phosphorus. Where do you think these minerals come from? Research shows most of the minerals are used from inside the buck himself and he goes through a phase of “buck osteoporosis” which is linked to the antler growth period. Then, these minerals are slowly re-introduced to the buck over the next few months through his foraging. My thought is let’s keep the vitamin and mineral content freely available to him so he may not take such a drastic dip in his health and physiological levels. Does & Fawns:
The two most critical periods of development for a Whitetail doe are during pregnancy and milk production. These are critical times due to the high nutrient demands associated with fetal growth and milk production. Doe’s that maintain nutritional health during gestation and lactation will not only produce a healthier fawn, but also will produce greater quality and quantity of milk. Lowcountry DM can help you maintain a healthy deer herd.
