Dead leaves can help
feed deer in fall and
winter but lack the
nutrients needed to
maintain weight, as
shown in feeding studies
at Penn State.
The experiments at
the Penn State Deer
Research Facility found
dead leaves can provide
nearly three-fourths of
the energy deer need to
sustain their winter
weight, provided the
rest of the nutrients
come from higher
quality forage.
"We notice deer eat a
substantial amount of
dead leaves falling from
trees at the Deer
Research Facility,”
stated David L. Snyder
from King of Prussia,
graduate assistant in
animal nutrition.
“Until recently, no
one knew the nutritional
value of dead leaves,”
he added. “Then we
determined that the
digestible energy of
leaves was 33 percent. It
is known that a deer can
maintain its winter
weight on forage that
has about 50 percent
digestible energy.”
Fawns were used in
winter feeding trials
since their needs are
more critical than those
of mature deer. Fawns
retain their appetite in
winter and generally
sustain their body
weight, he said,
whereas adult deer
commonly reduce their
feed intake and lose
weight.
Snyder says he feels

Dead leaves
30 percent is an ac
curate estimate of
digestible energy
content for most
autumn leaves.
Three trials were
carried out from
January to March of
1980. The first involved
fawns fed only sugar
maple leaves. A second
trial fed leaves plus a
small amount of deer
ration as developed at
Penn State. This sup
plemental feed provided
only one-fourth of each
fawn's winter needs to
sustain weight. These
two trials lasted 22 days
each. The third ex
periment used only the
complete deer ration
and ran for 17 days.
Feces were collected
to determine digestible
energy during the last 10
days on leaf diets and
the last 7 days on the
complete ration.' Body
weights were recorded
before and after each
feeding trial.
Fawns on the all-leaf
diet lost an average of
nearly one-half, pound
per day, Snyder
reported. When fed dead
leaves and supplement,
weight loss was reduced
to one-fourth pound per
day.
Snyder indicated the
energy of the complete
deer ration was 73
percent digestible. For
a fawn to maintain its
winter weight, as
mentioned earlier,
suitable “mast” or
forage should contain
about 50 percent
digestible energy.
Adding the ration

inadequate as sole food for deer
supplement to leaves
raised the total
digestibility to 44 per
cent, from the level of 33
percent, for leaves
alone. These were ac
tual results from the
three feeding trials.
Digestibility of dead
leaves was double
checked with a shorter
laboratory method
known as “in vitro,”
meaning outside a living
body. The maple leaves
were chopped and
mixed with rumen or
stomach fluid from a
cow. Microbes in the
fluid digested the feed in
as natural a condition as
the laboratory could
provide.
The results showed a
digestible energy level
of 31 percent for dead
leaves alone, very close
to the 33 percent ob
tained with the
traditional and more
-costly feeding trials.
"We now believe that
many kinds of deer
forage can be analyzed
‘m vitro’ without the
expense and effort of
digestion trials,”
Snyder commented.
The Penn State
studies of dead leaves
for deer rations will be
published in the fall
issue of "Science in

Seminars on soybean marketing
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - From field to
elevator may not be the most
profitable route {or the 1981
soybean crop. And producers can
find out why this winter at
marketing seminars sponsored by
the American Soybean Association
and Blazer herbicide.
The seminars are planned for 11
locations concentrated in the
heart of soybean country from
December 1981 through February
1982.
The seminars are designed to
better equip soybean growers to
decipher the complexities of
marketing so they can pick the
right time and right price for sales.
They will explore how the market
operates, what fundamental and
technical signs to watch and how to
use a variety of selling
mechanisms.
The “faculty” are experts from
the fundamental, technical and
cash fields. Thomas Hieronymus,
agricultural economist from the
University of Illinois, will cover
