    Comparison of CA, P and MG Concentration Changes in the Serum of Fallow Deer (Dama Dama) Hinds and Stags During the Period of Antler Growth in Stags

    In the study we decided to determine the dynamics of Ca, P and Mg concentration changes in the serum of fallow deer females and males in the period of antler growth in males and consider the validity of introducing the sex-dependent mineral supplementation programs in the aforementioned period. The study was performed on adult fallow deer hinds (n = 8) and stags (n = 8). The concentrations of Ca, P and Mg were measured in the serum samples, which were collected monthly from April to September. In the hinds the dynamic of mineral concentration changes does not show any significant variations and is characterized by a stable and constant growth through the experiment. In the males a similar profile of concentrations is observed through the most of the study except a considerable difference in September, when a rapid decrease in the level of all three minerals was noted. The results suggest that the pasture feed consumed in spring and summer is sufficient to ensure the constant complementation of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium reserve however in the period of antler mineralization in males, the intensification of mineral supplementation for stags may be considerable.
