Roe Deer Feed: High fibre mixes for healthy roe deer on your ground

Roe Deer Feed: Variety for selective feeders

Roe deer pick out the very best morsels and cope badly with sudden changes in their diet. Good roe deer feed is therefore easy to digest, rich in structure and tasty. The Leimüller wildlife feed range gives you a suitable mix for every season, from the spring blend to the Fiber. With trophy mineral, apple pomace and lucerne hay you can round off their supply nicely.

The right mix through the year

In winter the focus is on basic supply, while in spring does and bucks need more energy again. That is what the spring mix and the transition mix are for, as they make the changeover gentle. The Classic number 4 is a proven all round mix, while Struktur Light and Fiber put the emphasis on crude fibre. Müsli Darm Vital and the rumen mix support calm digestion while the deer get used to a new ration. Pellets are easy to measure out and work well in automatic feeders too.

Minerals and supplements

Besides the basic feed, a good mineral supply plays a big part in health and condition. Leimüller trophy mineral pellets are tailored specifically to roe deer. Dried apple pomace is a real favourite and reliably draws roe to the feeding site, while lucerne hay provides valuable protein and plenty of structure. If you stretch or enrich a mix, always do it step by step. And remember that whether and when you may feed is set by the hunting regulations in your country.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't roe deer eat the new feed?
Roe are wary of anything unfamiliar and often need a few days before they accept a new mix. Start by mixing the new feed in with the old one and increase the share slowly. A little apple pomace on top often makes the switch easier.

Which roe deer feed is best in spring?
In spring a mix with a little more energy helps, such as the spring or transition mix. It helps does and bucks regain their strength after the winter. Make the changeover gradually over one to two weeks.

How often should I refill a roe deer feeding site?
Regularity matters more than large amounts in one go. Put out smaller portions more often so the feed stays fresh and does not spoil. Remove any leftovers straight away if they have become wet or musty.
