POWERS — Ted and Steve Janke of Powers, founders of the Mighty Deer Lick and the commercial deer feed industry, have paired with Mark and Cody Whitens to form NutriFeed. A company devoted to manufacturing premier animal feed products with a focus on the Mighty Deer Lick line of products.

After transitioning from their previous manufacturer Morton Salt, Mighty Deer Lick is ready to supply their customers with their award winning products once again. This time manufactured in the Upper Peninsula.

For over 40 years the Jankes have produced the Mighty Deer Lick Sweet Apple Block, which continues to be a highly successful product in the deer feed industry.

Might Deer Lick will be giving out Mighty Deer Lick 25 pound Sweet Apply Block Authenticity Certificates for the first ever batch of blocks produced on their new equipment.

“Mighty Deer Lick strives to use the highest quality ingredients, unique ingredients that differentiates Mighty Deer Lick from the competition. Made with pure, fresh natural apple flavor and aroma, these blocks are more attractive and better than ever,” said NutriFeed Director of Marketing Cody Whitens.

High quality ingredients make high quality products, something the Mighty Deer Lick Company has been living by since their creation in 1974. The blocks are formulated with high quality natural apple, salt and the perfect one to one calcium, phosphorous ratio combined with vitamins A and D that support optimal antler development and herd health.

“NutriFeed is excited to focus primarily on manufacturing the Mighty Deer Lick brand of products. Our customers are our number one priority and they have been waiting a long time for these products,” said Whitens. “We are working day and night to get them back into stores now.”

The Mighty Deer Lick Sweet Apple Blocks not only provide hours of entertainment for wildlife lovers and deer hunters but recent studies show they can even save lives.

During icy winters, deficient in salt and minerals, deer and wildlife seek salt on roadways, resulting in over a million car accidents a year nationwide and billions of dollars in damages. Feeding wildlife Mighty Deer Lick year round provides ideal nourishment while encouraging deer to stay in the woods and off roadways.

Might Deer Lick products are now available at numerous area businesses with distribution growing daily.
