Drew, K.R. (1993) Vension
Management and Diseases of Deer
Discusses the quality of venison in general, oulining that the carcass composition of deer has low fat and high iron content, the effect of pH on quality, the use of electrical stimulation to increase tenderness, packaging and storage methods, and the effects of age and sex on meat quality. Other products such as velvet and skin are also introduced

Hutchings, S. (2002) Veterinary practitioners and on-farm Tb management groups
NZVA Deer Branch Conf. Proceedings
The Aniaml Health Board along with NZGIB and the DFA have come up with the initiative that the establishment of individual farm management plans for farms that are defined as having a chronic Tb infection is the best way of overcoming the problem of Tb. This paper provides background reasons for this initiative

McDowell, R (2007) Water quality of a stream recently fenced-off from deer
Fencing-off significantly improves water quality for nitrate and ammonium nitrogen, particulate and total phosphorus and suspended solids, but not for E. coli or dissolved reactive phosphorus. Fencing-off and planting is an expensive exercise but may be cost-effective where there is a large catchment area relative to the receiving waterway. Other factors that will limit the effectiveness include how quickly deer re-establish wallowing in other parts of the catchment, topography, soil type and climate.
