Frequently Asked Questions

Product & Service

What makes DeerDoc® unique compared to ordinary feeds?

DeerDoc® is not a replacement feed but a specialized parasite‑defense supplement. Unlike conventional feeds that simply provide energy, protein, and vitamins, DeerDoc® delivers a precisely dosed blend of botanical flavonoids—natural compounds scientifically proven to interrupt parasite life cycles, support gut integrity, and bolster immune response. By adding DeerDoc® to your existing rations, you gain continuous, low‑stress protection without resorting to chemical dewormers or facing withdrawal periods.

Which flavonoids are included in DeerDoc®, and why?

Our proprietary formula incorporates quercetin, luteolin, naringenin, and other select flavonoids chosen for their documented anthelmintic and anti‑inflammatory effects. Peer‑reviewed studies show these compounds inhibit nematode egg development, weaken adult worms’ attachment mechanisms, and enhance mucosal immunity. In combination, they deliver a multi‑pronged defense that plain feed or single‑compound additives simply cannot match.

Is DeerDoc® backed by scientific research?

Yes. In controlled on‑farm trials, herds supplemented with DeerDoc® pellets demonstrated a 94.5% reduction in fecal egg counts over 30 days compared to unsupplemented controls. Additional veterinary studies on individual flavonoids have confirmed their safety and efficacy in ruminants, making our blend one of the most rigorously tested natural parasite solutions on the market.

How do flavonoids behave once ingested by deer or livestock?

When ruminants consume DeerDoc®, complex flavonoid molecules are metabolized by rumen microbes into smaller, bioactive units. These metabolites are absorbed through the gut wall, circulate systemically, and concentrate in the intestinal lining—where they can exert their antiparasitic and immune‑modulating actions before being safely excreted. This unique bioavailability in ruminants ensures consistent efficacy.

Beyond parasite control, can DeerDoc® improve overall herd performance?

Absolutely. Flavonoids’ antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory properties help reduce oxidative stress in the gut, leading to better nutrient absorption and feed conversion. Many producers report stronger weight gains in fawns and yearlings, improved coat condition, and even enhanced antler growth. By keeping hidden burdens in check, DeerDoc® allows animals to allocate more energy to growth and reproduction.

Usage & Dosing

How do I administer DeerDoc® pellets to my herd?

Each scoop of DeerDoc® pellets contains 200 mg of active flavonoids, which is the recommended daily dose per two animals. For ongoing maintenance, feed one scoop per two heads each day on a 7‑day‑on, 7‑day‑off schedule to keep parasite loads suppressed year‑round. If you encounter elevated parasite counts or clinical signs, switch to daily dosing—one scoop per head for 30 consecutive days—to rapidly bring burdens under control.

What is the protocol for using DeerFlavin® liquid concentrate?

DeerFlavin® liquid delivers the same active flavonoids in a water‑soluble form, blending at 250 mL per 50 lb of feed. Simply measure the required volume into your mixer or trough and stir well before feeding. This format is ideal for feed mills, large‑scale operations, or any situation where precise, high‑volume dosing is preferred.

Can I adjust dosing based on species or weight?

While our standard protocol—200 mg per head daily—covers whitetail and mule deer, goats, sheep, and most livestock, extremely small or exceptionally large animals may require custom guidance. If you manage mixed‑species herds or unusual weights, our team can recommend tailored adjustments to ensure every animal receives an optimal flavonoid dose.

What should I do if an animal refuses the supplement?

DeerDoc® pellets are formulated in an alfalfa matrix to maximize palatability. If intake is inconsistent, try mixing pellets with a small amount of molasses or offering them alongside a highly palatable grain. For DeerFlavin®, you can blend the concentrate into flavored feed mixes or use a molasses‑based slurry.

How long before I should expect to see results?

Most users observe measurable drops in fecal egg counts within 30 days of consistent supplementation. You may also notice animals exhibiting improved vigor, better coat sheen, and more robust weight gains well before parasite counts fully stabilize—indicators that the flavonoids are enhancing gut health and immune resilience.

Safety & Handling

Are there any withdrawal periods after using DeerDoc®?

No. Because DeerDoc® relies solely on plant‑derived flavonoids, it carries zero withdrawal requirements. Meat, milk, and other animal products remain safe for human consumption immediately following supplementation, offering peace of mind for both producers and consumers.

What is the shelf life and optimal storage for DeerDoc® products?

When stored properly—pellets sealed in a cool, dry environment and DeerFlavin® kept at room temperature away from direct sunlight—both formats retain full potency for up to 24 months from the production date. Always reseal packaging promptly to protect against moisture.

Can I overdose my animals, and what are the risks?

No—DeerDoc®’s flavonoid levels are perfectly safe even if animals consume more than the recommended scoop. Any surplus flavonoids simply pass through and are excreted in the urine. There’s no risk of toxicity or buildup, so you can feel confident that extra supplementation won’t harm your herd.

Does DeerDoc® interact with veterinary medications or other supplements?

DeerDoc® is compatible with most standard veterinary protocols, including antibiotics and vaccines. If you’re on a regimented pharmaceutical deworming schedule, coordinate timing with your veterinarian so that pharmaceutical and botanical approaches work synergistically, rather than redundantly.

How should I dispose of expired DeerDoc® products?

Expired pellets can be composted or applied as a pasture amendment, adding valuable micronutrients to soil. Expired liquid concentrate, when diluted heavily with water, can serve as a natural foliar spray for non‑edible landscaping, leveraging its antioxidant properties for plant health.

Monitoring & Support

How often should I perform fecal egg counts to monitor efficacy?

We recommend monthly fecal exams during high‑risk seasons (spring and fall) and quarterly checks otherwise. This cadence helps you catch any resurgence early and adjust feeding protocols accordingly.

What performance metrics should I track alongside parasite counts?

In addition to egg counts, monitor body condition scores, weight gains in fawns or lambs, coat health, and antler measurements. Improved performance in these areas often correlates with effective parasite management.

How can I share feedback or success stories?

We welcome your experiences! Submit testimonials, photos, or short videos through our online form at deerdoc.net/testimonials. Selected stories may be featured on our website, social channels, or in marketing materials—plus, contributors receive exclusive discounts on future orders.
