ANTLERMAX® BY-PASS PROTEIN TECHNOLOGY

Deer Pic - Parson's Casanova Small .JPGAntlerMax®  is a patented, all-natural nutritional technology that provides higher quality protein to growing deer and elk antlers. The secret is in Purina Mills’ protein-extrusion process.  The unique digestive tracts of deer and elk reduce the quality of most proteins by breaking them down too quickly, diluting their value for antler growth.  AntlerMax® protects the proteins from breakdown in the rumen, or pre-stomach, allowing them to be digested in the stomach and small intestine. This is a more beneficial digestion process because it delivers a higher concentration of proteins to the growing antlers. The result helps deliver nutrients to the growing antler for the growth of unbelievable size, speed and mass at earlier ages.

PROPRIETARY MINERAL TECHNOLOGY

AntlerMax® Technology contains a proprietary blend of mineral sources that is unique in the feed industry. The levels and rations of minerals are a result of our decades of research. “More is not necessarily better” when it comes to minerals. At too high levels in deer diets, trace minerals actually interfere with each other. Deer can only digest and absorb so much mineral daily, no matter how much is in their diet. Our customers should have the benefit of this extensive research.

GAME FISH CHOWgamefishchow small

Research has shown that ponds stay healthier, fish grow bigger, faster and sustainable per acre populations with supplemental feeding. Ponds which naturally sustain a stocking population of 500 bluegills and 50 bass per acre can easily sustain 1,000 bluegills and 100 bass per acre with supplemental feeding. This remarkable difference is due in part to the fact that supplemental feeding affects a pond’s entire food chain.

Game Fish Chow is an extruded, multi-particle size product designed to be fed to a wide range of sizes of fish. This floating diet makes it easy to visually manage feeding, resulting in less waste and improved water quality.

WATERSHIELD® TECHNOLOGY

Unfortunately, corn does not have the core nutrients necessary to provide the proper nutrition for deer or to grow large antlers. To solve this problem, the Purina Mills team developed WaterShield® Technology for their Deer Chow pellets.
 
WaterShield® is an exclusive process that enables the pellets to repel all types of moisture, making them virtually impervious to bad weather. Extensive Purina Mills research has shown that WaterShield® Technology does not affect the feed’s palatability and ensures high consumption of AntlerMax® Technology, because deer will eat the pellets once they have dried out.
 
Deer producers often wrestle with clogged feeders as regular pellets become mushy and waterlogged from exposure to moisture. By making the pellets water resistant, they can remain free-flowing in both gravity and spin feeders, resulting in less labor in cleaning feeders, less wasted feed, and less likelihood that deer will go without feed because of a blocked feeder.

My Story: Stuart Parsons
Stuart_Parsons In my opinion, I am very pleased with the Purina® AntlerMax® Deer Feeds. I have seen better weaning weights in our fawns as well as an overall increase in our antler development in our bucks. This is allowing us to better meet the genetic potential of our breeding stock. A vital part of a successful breeding program is the feed and the Purina®... READ MORE >
