The ideal deer diet is low in protein and high in fiber. The varieties of deer food you can use during summer include shrubs, leaves, and grass. You can also add vegetables and fruits, except corn, as it can cause various health problems in deer. Another critical thing to remember is not to overfeed them.

Begin feeding in late December or after accumulating 12 inches of snowpack (whichever comes first) when deer have likely transitioned to their wintering areas. Proper feed is natural browse items such as; dogwood, maple, ash, birch, or witch hobble. Oats or acorns can be given as diet supplements.

Some of us have a sweet tooth while others crave salty stuff - like a perfectly cured piece of venison jerky. Deer have a natural craving for both. However, they need salt, and an abundance of other minerals, for optimum health. That's why it makes sense we use mineral licks to attract whitetails to our lands.

Heterotrophic Mode of Nutrition They depend on other organisms for food. This is called heterotrophic mode of nutrition. The organisms which depend on other organisms for food are called heterotrophs. For example, man, dog, cat, deer, tiger, cow, non-green plants like yeast are all heterotrophs.

Liver consumption has occurred for millennia and was often the first organ eaten from an animal. It is one of the most nutritionally dense foods available to humans (animals also tend to eat organ meats first). The liver contains iron, folate, copper, vitamin A, and vitamin B.

Deer serve several important functions in the ecosystem including keeping populations of producers in check, dispersing seeds, and serving as prey for secondary and tertiary consumers. Deer are grazers, primarily feeding on grasses and shrubs.

Deer will primarily eat browse (woody portion of leaves and stems), forbs (broad-leaved plants), mast (acorns, apples, etc), and grass.

Certain items are bad for deer's health, such as bread, corn, and other foods with an excessive amount of starch. The starch in barley and wheat can lead to severe indigestion issues in a deer, and may lead to death.
