Sheds
We have six sheds with numerous stalls to house our animals, three of them for deer (Mazama, Subulo, Odocoileus, and Ozotoceros), and three specially built for marsh deer. All the sheds are connected by a system of corridors, designed to take the animals without stress to the external paddocks, and to the anesthesia and veterinary procedures rooms.

Blastocerus dichotomus

Pickets
Built thinking to respect the behavior and biology of each species, we have 23 paddocks for Marsh Deer and 15 for other species, spaces that are cultivated with special fodder, which the animals love.
Procedure rooms
We have two areas prepared with anesthesia induction and recovery rooms and rooms for veterinary procedures, one of them structured for Marsh Deer, and another for the other species.
Kitchen
Here all the animals' meals are carefully assembled. The individual portion of feed is daily weighed before and after being offered, in order to monitor possible changes in the appetite of each animal.
Their diet consists of a large part of roughage (blackberry leaves, soybeans, perennial soybeans, and ramie - which are planted right here in Nupecce, and harvested every day to be offered fresh), and a part of equine feed, with a portion of pumpkin.
