We suggest that you actually mix RACK DUST with your soil in a approxiamte 3 foot by 3 foot area, 2 to 4 inches deep, once the deer find the all-natural lick, they will actually chew and consume the dirt, which now will contain all the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that the deer may be lacking.
This will ensure that they are digested by the deer, unlike certain salt or mineral blocks on the market. With salt or mineral blocks, the actual minerals may be absorbed by the saliva, thus never making into the stomach of the animal, which in whitetail deer is where everything is digested and absorbed.
Amino acids, the building blocks of protein, are added to our mix to help compliment the proteins in the deer's diet. Vitamin A, D, and E are essential bone building vitamins that also aid in the absorbtion of Calcium and Phosphorus.
Major minerals Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Organic Sulfur, Magnesium, and Sodium all play very important roles in bone development, metabolism, water balance, and protein breakdown.
Trace minerals such as copper, manganese, iron, zinc, boron, cobalt, iodine, flourine, and selenium are necessary components in their diet to help bone development, nutrient absorbtion, and metabolism.
Chondroitin and glucosamine help in janimal oint and bone development. Folic Acid, Biotin, the Vitamin B Family, Vitamin C, Inositol all have been proven to help and protect immune systems and help in reproduction and doe lactation.
What does this all mean?
For the does: It means that healthier does produce healthier fawns as well as having the strength to make it through the rigorous rut in the fall. For the fawns: A stronger immune system to fight off disease, as well as a head start in calcium and phosphorus absorption, the primary minerals needed in antler production. For the bucks: Essential vitamins and amino acids, help MAXIMIZE the transfer and absorption of minerals to their antlers, helping them gain mass and explosive growth.
