  1. Supplemental Feed Preferences of the White-tailed Deer Jake Jung, Undergraduate Student (Wildlife and Fisheries), Department of Biology, Tennessee Tech University, Cookeville, TN 38505

  2. Project Summary • Determine Supplemental Feed Preference of White-tailed Deer • Hypothesis: Deer will use one feed choice over the others. • Goals of Project: Discover the most preferred foods. • Expected Results: A certain feed will be preferred most.

  3. Introduction • Determine the preference of supplemental feed for white-tailed deer. • Deer that use supplemental feed during the winter can have reduced mortality (Baker and Hobbs 1975). • Males use supplemental feed more than females (Bartoskewitz et al. 2003). • Deer weigh more when supplementally fed (Ozoga and Verme 1982).

  4. Objectives/Hypothesis • Objective: Determine the feed preference of deer • Hypothesis: Deer will use one feed choice over the others. • Null Hypothesis: Deer will not show a feed preference

  5. Methods and Materials • Tube Feeding Method • t-Test statistics • Data form • Experimental Design

  6. Expected Results and Benefits • Discover what feed is the most preferred • Learn what is the best product to be used

  7. Project Timeline

  8. Yearly Budget
