Hoskin, S.O. (1999) Growth and carcass production of young farmed deer grazing sulla (Hedysarum coronarium), chicory (Cichorium intybus), or perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne)/white clover (Trifolium repens) pasture in New Zealand.
NZ Journal of Agricultural Research
A comparison of liveweight gain, VFI and carcass production for purre red and hybrid deer calves grazing various feeds. The most important point made from theis study was that greater autumn LWG and carcass weight's were achieved from weaner deer grazing sulla compared with deer grazing pasture or chicory

Suttie, J.M. (1982) Growth and Efficiency of Red Deer Stags
BDFA Newsletter
This article looks at the pronounced natural growth cycles of red deer stags. The article investigates whether it may be possible to manipulate food availability to reinforce and benefit from animals' own seasonal pattern of "restriction follwed by realimentation"

Asher, G. W. (1985) Growth and venison production of farmed deer
This report shows factors which contribute to efficient growth and profitable venison production of farmed deer and provides results showing that an increase in per hectare production was achieved at the expense of indiviual stag performance, and that for a 14 month venison production system the autumn and summer can be critical periods for the growth of stags

Adam, J.L. (1986) Growth and Venison Production: Red and Fallow Deer
Ruakura Farmers' Conference
Examines the effects of stocking rate with red and fallow deer in terms fo per animal and per hectare production up to 14 montsh of age. Gross Margins are calculated for red deer stags at different stocking rates for slaughter at 14 versus 24 months together with likely differentials in venison schedules required to spread the age at slaughter

The aim of this study was to determine whether or not Growth Hormone - GH - is secreted in a pulsatile manner (as it is in sheep and cattle) in red deer stags. A further aim was to investigate whether there was any relationship between a parameter of GH secretion and IGF1 level
