Suttie, J.M. (1980) Influence of nutrition on growth and sexual maturation of captive red deer stags
Reindeer/Caribou Symposium
This study set out to test the theory that poor nutrition during the winter, particularly in the first years of life, restricts the animal to a small frame which prevents attainment of its true genetic potential.
The study also sets out to investigate the effects of nutrition on cycles of growth and reproduction which have been previously described

Suttie, J.M. (1983) Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 : Antler Stimulating Hormone ?
Australian Society of Endocrinology
As IGF-1 is known to stimulate cartilege synthesis the aim of the present study was to investigate a possible role for IGF-1 as an "antler stimulating hormone"

Suttie, J.M. (1992) Insulin like growth factor 1, growth and body composition in red deer stags.
Animal Production
Investigation of the relationshpis among plasma concentration of IGF1, body growth and carcass composition in grazing stags. Total plasma IGF1 correlated positively with antler growth rate, the spring phase of liveweight gain and with all measuresd of body weight except fat. A neagative correlation with live-weight gain during the late summer growth phase was displayed.

Suttie, J.M. (1992) Insulin-like growth factor 1 and growth seasonality in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) - comparisons with temperate and tropical cervids.
Arctic Ungulate Symposium
This comparison reveals that seasonal increases in IGF1 take place only in animals with a seasonal growth spurt. Thus IGF1 plasma level elevations seem most closely associated with the resumption of rapid growth in spring following the winter

(2007) Integrated Livestock Management. Part A - Survey
Cattle rather than sheep were the dominant species integrated with deer. Co-grazing most common in summer, then spring, autumn and winter. Cattle perceived to be effective in improving mis-match between pasture demand and supply profiles and more effective than sheep
