Deer Fact sheets are up-to-date sources of practical information for everyone involved in deer farming. They are published electronically (see links below) and in print.
Their prime purpose is to help NZ deer farmers run profitable and resilient farming businesses, with high standards of animal welfare and environmental sustainability. They are also an invaluable source of information for students, professional advisers and those servicing the industry.
The first Deer Facts were published in September 2015, with co-funding from Deer Industry New Zealand and the Ministry for Primary Industries as part of the Passion2Profit programme, which ended in 2022.
DINZ now publishes updated and new Deer Facts, supported by levy funding and co-funding from MPI.
Each Deer Fact is checked for technical accuracy, but DINZ cannot take responsibility for decisions based on their content. If in doubt, seek professional advice.
Keep up to date!
Printed copies of new and updated Deer Facts are circulated to deer farmers and others involved in deer farm management on request. New subscribers are provided with a ring binder containing a full set of published Deer Facts.
