Salt block and hay is being fed directly on the ground for one male white-tailed deer. The hay was contaminated with excreta and the animal was observed walking through the hay. The pile of hay with the excreta is unfit for consumption. Contamination of feed can lead to intestinal parasitism or overgrowth of microorganisms which pose a risk to the health of these animals and feeding off the ground reduces this risk. Food must be wholesome, palatable, and free from contamination and of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain all animals in good health.
