Peter and Diane Lowe finish 95 weaner from 105 hinds per year.
He has historically trail fed for 150 days at a rate of 250grams/day plus a roll of Lucerne baleage every other day from May until they stop eating it – usually the end of July.
Historic, dressed kill weights averaged 61kg and the majority of weaners were sent to the works in October.
The weaner deer averaged a dressed weight of 68.18kg and were sold, on average, one month earlier allowing all to be sold before the schedule started to drop.
The weaners stopped eating the Lucerne baleage by the end of June, one month earlier, and reduced baleage supplement requirements by 15 rolls.
Weaning is done at the start of March. Fawns find this quite stressful and often have a setback. By implementing the use of Advantage Feeders before weaning, increases the condition of the hind to get back in calve easier, trains the fawns how to consume from the feeders and reduces the amount of fawns that have a set back at weaning. The supplement feeding will also increase the weight gain of the fawns.
We conduct on-farm trials to test and demonstrate the effectiveness of our products. Each trial provides practical, evidence-based insights that guide our work and support informed decision-making.
