As the old
saying goes, “Good things come to those who wait.” For some time, Whitetail
Institute field testers and customers have asked the folks at Whitetail
Institute to make available a deer feed supplement that they could use in their
nutritional management programs. So the obvious question would be, “Why has a
Whitetail Institute deer feed not been introduced?”
If you are
familiar with the research program at the Whitetail Institute, you know that
they don’t introduce a product unless it has been tested and retested all
across the country to ensure that any product made available to their customers
is industry-leading and lives up to the claims it is given. For many years,
Whitetail Institute researchers have been working with deer feeds both at their
testing facilities and with field testers across the country. Many times, these
feeds performed extraordinarily well, but all the demands were not fully
met…until now. The Whitetail Institute is proud to introduce Results, a
nutrient-powered, research-tested feed supplement designed specifically for
deer.
Whitetail
Institute has been the industry leader in food plot forages for more than 20
years. This leadership was the result of painstaking research which produced
products like Imperial Whitetail Clover which contains the only clovers
genetically developed specifically for whitetail deer. The Whitetail Institute
has also been the industry leader in mineral/vitamin supplementation with
products such as Imperial 30-06 and Cutting Edge Nutritional Supplements. With
this intense focus on food plots and mineral/ vitamin supplements it may be
construed that deer researchers at the Institute did not consider feed
supplements a priority as a key component in a nutritional program.
To the
contrary, the Whitetail Institute has long realized the value and utilized the
benefits of feed supplements in their research programs. Feed supplements, like
food plots and mineral/vitamin supplements, are components or tools that can be
used in a nutritional program when needed to help bring about the overall
management goal. For instance, in many parts of the country during the cold
winter months, food source availability is limited. Even if you plant food
plots, the tonnage produced may not be enough to supply food throughout the entire
winter. This is especially true if you have a prolonged winter, limited number
of acres available for planting food plots or high deer herd numbers.
Feed
supplements can be an invaluable tool to be used in conjunction with winter
food plots in order to help deer maintain body conditions during this stressful
time period. Even during the spring and summer, feed supplements can be a
valuable tool in many different circumstances. For example, a late, cold spring
can cause food plots and natural vegetation to have slow and/or stunted growth
early on, causing a nutritional gap for antler growth and doe lactation.
Further, in some parts of the country such as a the Deep South and the
Southwest, hot dry weather can cause forages to have stunted growth and lower digestibility,
causing a late summer nutritional gap. Feed supplements can be used to help
fill these nutritional gaps and ensure that your deer herd does not suffer from
sporadic nutritional deficiencies.
Feed
supplements can also be used year-round as a nutritional insurance program.
While drought and cold weather can create acute nutritional stress, milder
changes in climate and vegetation can cause chronic nutritional strains. These
particular nutritional stresses are often not necessarily visual and therefore
go unnoticed. Feed supplements can act as an ever-present nutritional source
filling these nutritional gaps whether they are apparent or not.
Results Deer
Feed is the culmination of years of research and testing. For several years now
the Institute has been testing a multitude of formulations, testing various
ingredients and nutrient levels in order to achieve maximum nutrition as well
as incredible attraction. Researchers at the Whitetail Institute arrived at the
nutritional requirements needed in the feed years ago but still wanted to do
some tweaking on attraction. Further research using Devour (Whitetail
Institute’s scent and flavor enhancer) showed a dramatic difference in
palatability and preference over other competitive deer feed supplements. To
complete the formulation, a special water protectant called Rain Shed was added
to help ensure the pellets better maintain their integrity during adverse
weather conditions.
Results is
packed with protein, a guaranteed minimum of 20 percent. This protein is
derived from the highest quality, highly digestible ingredients providing rumen-digestible
protein and by-pass protein. Both protein sources are needed for optimum
protein utilization. Results also is also packed with energy provided through
carbohydrates and fat to help your deer herd maintain top body condition.
Quality fiber sources are also essential for deer as they help to maintain
rumen health and proper function. However, not all fiber sources are beneficial
to deer as some provide little or no benefit. Results contains only highly
digestible and high-quality fiber sources selected based on the particular
fiber needs of deer and the deer’s digestive system.
Minerals and
vitamins are vital for antler growth, doe lactation, fawn development and
overall herd quality. Results contains all essential minerals and vitamins
formulated in specific amounts and ratios that were designed specifically for
whitetail deer. As mentioned earlier, Results also contains Devour to ensure
the desired consumption amount. While Results contains all of these important
individual qualities, the real key to the effectiveness of Results is the sum
or combination of these attributes. Protein, energy, fiber, minerals, vitamins
and flavor enhancers all derived from high quality, specifically selected ingredients
formulated in precise amounts produce a feed supplement that gives you what you
pay for and expect — Results.
Results is
manufactured and co-marketed with Southern States Inc. and MFA Incorporated.
Southern States and MFA Inc. have been leaders in the feed manufacturing
industry for many years and are known for providing extremely high-quality feed
products. With manufacturing sites across much of the U.S., Southern States and
MFA Incorporated will help to ensure you can get Results efficiently and timely
