Webster, J.R. (1997) Increased winter growth in male red deer calves under an extended photoperiod.
Animal Science
Tested the ability of various photoperiodic regimes to reduce the seasonal depression in food intake and growth rate during summer. Results showed that exposure to a summer solstice phototperiod during winter advanced the rapid growth of red deer calves normally associated with spring and summer
