*Please consult your Veterinarian prior to implementing any Health Management Program.
We highly recommend vaccinating adult animals prior to birthing for proper passive transfer of antibodies via colostrum. See Cervid Solutions Membership (CSM) program for more details.
Over the past 16 years Cervid Solutions, LLC has developed a protocol for Whitetail Deer (Fawns) that is the backbone of our health management program. Each farm may vary in its application. Consider consulting our Cervid Health Experts prior to implementation.
