Advances in Deer & Elk Feeding

The mineral, vitamin, and protein profiles of ADM Alliance Nutrition® deer feeds set the industry standards. Advanced technologies incorporated into ADM Alliance Nutrition deer feed further separate these premier products from many others on the market.


PrimaLac®* is a direct fed microbial that survives pelleting. This direct fed microbial contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, Enterococcus faecium, and Bifidobacterium thermophilum.

  • This direct fed microbial inhibits pathogen growth in the gastrointestinal tract by attaching to the gut wall and crowding out the pathogenic bacteria (competitive exclusion).

  • Direct fed microbials have a positive effect on lengthening mucosal villa heights thus increasing nutrient absorption.

  • Direct fed microbials have a positive effect on digestive enzyme activity.

  • Direct fed microbials have a positive effect on antibody formation.


 

CitriStim® is a proprietary feed ingredient manufactured by ADM using a controlled fermentation process. CitriStim is a Candida yeast product that provides a source of mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) and beta glucans.

  • Researchers have demonstrated MOS can have a beneficial impact on animal growth and health by binding pathogenic gut bacteria.

  • Studies by Salit and Gotschlich (1977) demonstrated that yeast mannans have the ability to interfere with E. coli binding in the gastrointestinal tract.

  • The binding ability is not limited to E. coli. Salmonella, Klebsiella, and Clostridium organisms are known to be susceptible to MOS binding.

  • Once pathogenic bacteria are bound to yeast mannans, they are carried out of the intestinal tract.

  • Research trials have shown animals fed CitriStim responded positively in terms of average daily gain and feed efficiency.

 


Thermal Care™ is an ADM patent-pending technology that utilizes specially selected, research tested compounds to help overcome the negative effects of heat stress.

  • Possible advantages include better dry matter intake, lower body temperature, and better body condition score.

  • The compounds in Thermal Care provide gut benefits including enhanced feed digestion and intestinal integrity.

  • Decreased rectal temperatures have been observed with animals fed Thermal Care.

 


Complexed (organic) trace minerals are utilized in several ADM Alliance Nutrition deer feeds.

  • Research shows that rations supplemented with complexed (organic) trace minerals enhance reproductive performance.

  • The zinc portion of this complexed (organic) mineral has been shown to have positive effects on hoof and skin condition.

  • The cobalt component of this complexed (organic) trace mineral is essential for the synthesis of vitamin B12, a coenzyme and needed for the production of red blood cells.

  • Copper from the complexed (organic) trace mineral is involved in the proper function of bacteria-fighting cells (macrophages and neutrophils).

  • Manganese, a part of the complexed (organic) trace minerals, is essential in the process of blood detoxification within the liver.

 


Natural-source vitamin E is a component of several ADM Alliance Nutrition Deer Feeds. Research documents:

  • Both natural-source vitamin E and synthetic vitamin E are absorbed in the body. However, after absorption a specific transport protein in the liver recognizes the natural-source vitamin E and gives it priority over synthetic forms.

  • The natural-source vitamin E is retained better and for a longer time in the body.

  •  Natural-source vitamin E is used more efficiently by the body than the synthetic vitamin E.

 


PremiDex™, a modified wheat starch (dextrin), is a proprietary feed ingredient manufactured by ADM. This unique ingredient is utilized in TraceMax® Fawn Starter and Instant Kid Milk Replacer.

  • PremiDex is classified as a prebiotic, which is a non-digestible carbohydrate that beneficially affects the host animal by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of favorable bacteria in the colon.

  • Data from research trials strongly suggest that the addition of PremiDex to a young animal’s diet increases average daily gain and feed efficiency.

 


High-Quality . . .  Integrity . . . Modern Nutritional Technology . . . Performance . . . all define ADM Alliance Nutrition’s Deer Program.

  • ADM Alliance Nutrition’s deer feeds are not formulated on a least-cost basis.

  • ADM Alliance Nutrition’s formulation and feed manufacturing teams do not take “shortcuts” in producing deer feed. All nutritional inputs must be in place prior to producing cervid products.

  • ADM Alliance Nutrition follows up with service.
