Farming Basics The New Zealand deer industry is extensive in its scale and operation. Deer are able to roam and graze freely, in natural conditions. No hormones or growth promotants are licensed for use in New Zealand deer. New Zealand deer graze on natural pasture, primarily rye grasses with some specialist pastures such as chicory. In winter when grass growth is limited, supplementary feeds such as grains or preserved pasture may be fed out. Deer are naturally healthy and adaptable animals and thrive in New Zealand's temperate climate. The following links gives details on specific aspects of deer farming within New Zealand: |
