    Feeding Deer Meat

    I have access to all the deer meat and deer bone I can handle. But dont have very much access to the organs etc. How could I add to the deer meat and deer bone to make a good raw diet. And when I mean deer meat I mean mostly raw deer burger

    Just buy organ meat from another source. Deer is a great source of protein.

    Deer meat is extremely low in fat. You should not feed it by itself for any length of time. Rotate it into a raw diet that consists of chicken and or beef and make sure there is plenty of fat content.

    Very true! Venison is good meat but it is so lean that you would need to add fats more so than organ meats for a well balanced raw diet.

    Chicken backs are mostly fat and bone so they can be added in. Just feed the deer meat in with other meats and fats. For organ meats, you can get chicken livers or beef liver to add. I also stepped up my worming program when I fed a lot of venison.
    Common sense isn't so common these days.

    I feed a lot more chicken backs in the winter precisely because they are so full of fat. It's a great way to put the weight on outside dogs and also keep the weight on my house dogs.

    I get them at the supermarket. They are relatively cheap. Not only do they have a lot of fat but they will also have some organs attached.
