Peanuts:
0.19% Phosphorous
1.66% Calcium
24% Leaf Protein
41% Seed Protein
Peanuts contain high quality plant protein. When comparing peanuts to similar foods, peanuts have ore protein than any other legume or nut. - The Peanut Institute
A buck's hardened antlers are about 45% protein. Body growth occurs before and takes precedence over antler growth. So if protein is in short supply, the deer will have smaller antlers. In general, we believe a diet of 13 - 16 precent protein is optimal for antler development. - http://www.huntingpa.com
