AntlerMax® Breeder Textured 17-6 with Climate Guard®
is a highly fortified textured ration for confined deer designed to meet the extra nutritional demands of high
scoring bucks during antler development. This diet is also uniquely designed to supply extra nutrition to deer
during their life stages when nutritional requirements are accelerated: does during lactation; does and bucks
regaining body weight after the rut; and deer regaining body condition following periods of reduced intake due
to climatic factors or illness. It is also an excellent creep and weaning ration for fawns.
