 Today
the feeding and care of wildlife has become a large business.
Many deer and exotic animal operations include the services
of biologists and nutritionists to assist with management efforts.
The importance of balanced nutrition has now worked its way
into the spotlight as a major factor in the production of quality
animals for harvest. Most experts do agree on one issue with regard
to nutrition--the range (forage areas) of these animals rarely
provides for all the nutritional needs of the herd.
Postive Feed Ltd., a company with more than
32 years of experience
in the manufacturing of supplements for the livestock industry,
now introduces EGS 16. We have joined efforts with A.J. Higginbottom
of HMS Zoo Diets Inc. to create a unique wild game supplement.
By using our ALL-IN-ONE (patent #5,622,739) process, Postive
Feed has created a hard crystallized molasses product with a
swirled vein of loose mineral, proteins, and salt formulated
for the nutritional needs of deer and exotic game animals. Our
objective is to balance the existing forage and browse in most
conditions. The EGS 16 feeding program is focused on maximizing
antler/horn development and weaned fawn success.
While many
products on the market today are used as attractants, few have
placed the importance of sound nutritional supplementation as
the EGS 16.
This tub is not an
attractant, you need to put corn, and/or pellets on top of this
product, for the animal to acquire a taste for the tub.
If you believe as we do that age, genetics, and nutrition
are the keys to the development of quality animals, then EGS
16 has been developed for you.

For introduction to animals for the first time, an adequate
supply and placement by frequently traveled areas is
essential -
provide one tub per 20 to 30 head
of animals. Average range conditions require 2 -
8 ounces per animal daily. Adequate forage or browse must be
available at all times. Winter consumption will be slightly
higher. Consumption will respond to forage quality; the
poorer the quality, the higher the consumption. This is not
an attractant - it is a nutritional supplement. This
supplement may not meet the total requirements for all
nutritional situations, therefore other sources of mineral
should be made available.

For greatest results, EGS 16% should be fed continuously
year around.

The management of exotic animal herds has taken many
different turns over the years. But today, nearly all
experts agree that supplemental nutritional support is
required to attain the maximum development that genetics
will allow. No matter how easy and convenient a program
may be, the first requirement is that it be
nutritionally correct. EGS 16 has taken the pioneering
work done by Dr. Duane E. Ullery of Michigan State as a
base, and then expanded that work to incorporate the
very latest developments. The basic nutrition is the
same as that used in an estimated 80% of zoos and
prestigious exotic animal breeding farms in North
America. While the challenges of managing exotic animal
collections in zoos and free-range game farms and
ranches are very different, the basic nutritional
requirements are similar. The need to add
supplementation to balance the existing forage is all
the same. Studies have shown that many of the exotics
have greater requirements for certain minerals and
vitamins. It has been demonstrated that African hoof
stock give significantly better performance when
supplied with double the currently recommended levels of
selenium for domestic livestock. It has also been
demonstrated that there is an optimum relationship
between selenium and vitamin E. Also unique to this
program is the ability to deliver live lactobacillus
acidophilus to the animal on a daily basis. The benefits
to feeding lactobacillus acidophilus is well known, but
until now there has been no practical way to administer
it. The purpose is to positively manage the micro flora
makeup of the gut, and thus reduce the stress coming
from the daily exposure to pathogenic organisms such as
E-coli and salmonella. |

There has always been an agreement that the three main
factors in maximum antler growth are age, genetics and
nutrition. Dr. Duane E. Ullery in the Michigan
Agricultural Experiment Station Journal No. 10121
clearly set out the mechanism for antler growth
regardless of age or genetics. The timing of the
delivery of the nutrients to the animal may be one of
the most important factors. After the rut and into the
winter season is when the animal is preparing for the
next production cycle of antler growth and for fawns to
be dropped in the spring. If the body resources, at this
critical time, are adequate for growth of antlers or the
production of twin or triplet fawns, then the chance for
development to maximize genetic capability is possible.
It goes without saying that once the animal has started
upon the maximum potential pattern, the nutrition must
be present throughout the cycle to fully realize that
potential. Supplemental feeding may actually have a
greater impact on the doe herd. You might expect heavier
birth weights and a higher weaned fawn-to-doe ratio. The
management of deer has certainly recognized the
advantage of proper genetics and adequate age. EGS 16
was developed to assist with the nutrient
supplementation of these animals.
Postive Feed, Ltd. has developed a supplemental feeding
program that is focused on maximizing antler development
and weaned fawn success. This is a unique nutrient
delivery system providing essential nutrients in an easy
to feed molasses-based block.” |
