Abstract
Providing a diet adequate for growth and reproduction has been a major problem in rearing fawns taken from the wild (Silver and Colovos, 1957; French, et al., 1955). We encountered this problem in establishing a captive deer herd in Missouri, and provided adequate nutrition for growth and reproduction by feeding an enriched formula which simulated deer milk. The author wishes to acknowledge the technical assistance of the following faculty members of the University of Missouri: George Garner, William O. Regan, and Charles Turner. The deer milk sample was analyzed by the Chemical Laboratory, Agricultural Experiment Station, University of Missouri, under direction of Charles W. Gehrke.
