A successful spotted deer breeding facility may be established by giving high-quality feed and sufficient nutrients such as organic matter in the diet. The major goal of this study was to look at the feed organic matter consumption of a group of 21 deer and 9 deer fed three different diets (carrot, feed concentrate, and elephant grass). The three diets were fed for three weeks, with a different diet being fed each week. During the first week of the trial, a group of 21 deer were fed carrot (Diet-1), feed concentrate (Diet-2) during the second week, and elephant grass during the third week (Diet-3). The deer had unrestricted access to water every day. The deer were given a two-day adaptation period for new feed, and the intake of organic matter in feed and the palatability of feed were measured five times each week. The data on feed organic matter consumption was analysed using a one-way analysis of variance (Anova). There was a significant difference in organic matter consumption (p0.05) across the three different diets. Those 21 deer ate 12kg of carrot organic matter per day, 13kg of feed concentrate per day, and 4kg of elephant grass per day, respectively. Elephant grass takes a longer time for deer to consume than carrots or concentrates. The variation in organic matter consumption between the three diets investigated was inferred to be related to differences in nutritional content and palatability of the feedstuffs.
