PILGRIM'S 22% TROPHY BUCK DEVELOPER PELLET WITH MOISTURE BLOK

GUARANTEED ANALYSIS

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Pilgrim's 22% Trophy Buck Developer Pellet is a balanced, high-quality feed formulated to help deer perform to their full genetic potential.
• Formulated with moisture blok to help the pellets repel moisture, allowing the feed to freely flow in feeders reducing feed wastage.
• High protein - research shows that high protein levels lead to larger antlers and greater growth. Higher protein feeds should stimulate forage intake, digestion and utilization. In bucks, hardened antlers are about 45% protein. Body growth takes priority over antler growth. Thus, if protein levels are short, antler growth will be reduced before body growth.
• High calcium and phosphorus levels - Hardened deer antlers contain about 22% calcium and 11% phosphorus. Since body growth takes precedence, shortages of calcium and phosphorus would impact antler growth before body growth.
• High vitamin levels - help with reproduction and stimulating immune system.
• Contains zinc methionine complex (Zinpro) - zinc from zinc methionine is more bioavailable than inorganic zinc. Zinc promotes wound healing. Research shows that Zinpro helps prevent foot rot and promotes thicker hoof walls. Similarly, Zinpro should also help promote antler growth.
• Energy and protein are provided by a variety of feedstuffs. Not all of energy is provided by grain thus feed has moderate starch level. High levels of grain can reduce rumen pH, which reduces the number of fiber-digesting bacteria. Thus, forage intake and utilization is reduced. Feeding high grain feeds can also possibly lead to acidosis.
• Fiber is provided by alfalfa and soybean hulls - good quality fiber.
• Soybean hulls are high in fiber and energy. Energy is provided by "digestible fiber" as opposed to starch.
