AntlerMaxTM Technology:
[ul][*]Provides top buck health, allowing each animal to reach its full genetic potential for antler growth, while lowering mortality rates during the rut.
[*]Delivers top doe health, resulting in increased milk production, milk quality and overall fertility.[*]Builds strong, healthy fawns for lower mortality. [/ul]


How AntlerMaxTM Technology Works:
[ul][*]Patented Proteins - In deer, most proteins break down in the rumen (pre-stomach), decreasing their ability to support antler growth. But patented AntlerMaxTM Technology in new Deer ChowTM naturally protects these high-quality proteins from rumen breakdown. Once protected, these proteins are digested by the deer in the stomach and small intestines instead of the rumen. The result - HUGE antlers much FASTER.[*]Proprietary Trace Minerals - Optimal antler growth and overall deer health require a proper blend of minerals. That's why Purina® has done extensive studies to determine exact mineral requirements for growing antlers at various stages of development. AntlerMaxTM goes beyond protein technology to also include exact proprietary types and ratios of trace minerals necessary for building optimal antler density and strength. Plus, Purina Mills® Deer ChowTM diets are formulated regionally to adjust for mineral variations in soil and vegetation. [/ul]


Supplemental Feeding Key to Maximizing Genetic Potential
Most deer prefer protein and energy-rich foods such as browse and leafy plants, over more fibrous grasses. Mother Nature typically provides nutrients through this natural forage to SUSTAIN a deer population. But rather than merely sustaining deer, most people are interested in growing them to their maximum genetic potential. Supplemental feeding can be the difference between an average deer and the world's biggest deer. Plus supplemental feeding also helps deer live better, healthier lives.

DEER ARENOTCATTLE - they have unique nutritional requirements and feeding habits. As with every species, deer must be fed to meet their needs. Year-round supplemental feeding evens out the nutritional peaks and valleys caused by seasonal and environmental fluctuations.
Supplemental feeding has been shown to benefit all aspects of the deer's life cycle.
[ul][*]Well-fed does produce more milk of higher quality resulting in bigger fawns. [*]Well-fed fawns grow faster, stay healthier and have higher survival rates. [*]Buck fawns who receive optimal nutrition early in life will have bigger antlers. [*]Intermittent feeding will not have the same results as year-round feeding; bucks who enter a feeding program in below average condition (such as right after rut) will spend nutrition on rebuilding body tissue, not antler tissue. [*]Research has shown that consistent, year-round supplemental feeding has positive results in terms of overall health (decreased mortality, increased parasite and disease resistance), bigger body size, better milking capability, more successful breeding, and more massive antlers.
