Antler growth is triggered in the spring by changes in the photo period. When this takes place, there is a hormone release that allows deer to quickly process nutrients and minerals that enable the growth of antlers.

This process continues throughout late summer until testosterone triggers antler hardening and the shedding of velvet. This process takes at least six months to complete.

Studies have proven that calcium and phosphorus are the two most common minerals in deer antlers, including whitetail deer.

These two minerals represent up to 35 percent of a fully developed antler. Other Mineral found in antlers: magnesium, sodium, potassium, barium, iron, aluminum, zinc, strontium and manganese.

Deer need calcium and phosphorus as well as vitamins A, D, and E.

Raks™ Mineral provides a proven balance of vitamins and minerals that improve herd health, immunity and energy. Raks™ Mineral also helps to build a genetically better animal.

Protozoa (single-celled organisms) live in the rumen and intestinal tracts of deer. Protozoa take away feed energy and growth from deer, but the Yucca saponins found in Raks™ Mineral reduce the protozoa concentration in the rumen. Raks™ Mineral acts as an attractant encouraging deer to visit the site daily. The average deer will consume about 2-4 grams per day. Because Deer are browsers, they consume all of their vitamins and minerals through their diets. They will only consume what they are lacking and needing.
