Nutrition. What’s in it for you?
A lot, and it’s all good. Kosciuzko Wild Venison is a lean, nutrient-rich protein packed with iron, B vitamins, and essential minerals, while being low in fat and cholesterol. Its wild origins ensure it’s free from antibiotics, hormones, and artificial feed. Just pure, natural protein as nature intended.
And here are the facts – so you can make informed choices about what fuels your body.
Organic and additive free
Due to grass-based diet and limited contact with pharmaceuticals used in domestic animal disease treatments, venison is considered organic and safe for consumption.
(Barton et al., 2014; Wiklund et al., 2014)
Consumers nowadays are highly interested in animal welfare, additives used in meat production and environmental pollution.
(Volpelli et al., 2003)
Regarding these aspects, venison harvested from free-living animals meets all the requirements.
Lower fat, lower energy
Generally speaking wild game meat from Central and Mediterranean European countries, compared to livestock meat shows:
- A lower fat content (< 3g/100g for large and<4g/100g for small wild game species), and therefore a lower energy content
- A higher or similar protein content
- A positive fatty-acids profile, showing a higher proportion of PUFA, especially n-3, and consequently more favorable PUFA/SFA ratio
High nutrient-dense meat
Deer meat (aka venison) has a Nutrivore Score of 683, which makes it a high nutrient-dense food!
It is particularly rich in coQ10, vitamin B12 (cobalamin), protein, vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), copper, taurine, and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), plus more!
Take a look across the Nutrivore site for nutrient analysis. There is a lot of information available globally on venison’s nutrition values.
Sustainability
Wild by nature, sustainably harvested
Kosciuszko Wild Venison comes from deer that roam freely in the Snowy River catchment, feeding on native grasses and herbs. This natural diet, combined with ethical harvesting practices, ensures rich flavor, nutritional integrity, and minimal stress for the animal. The deer population management assists in reducing environmental impact on the region.
Harvesters use a swift, humane process, avoiding farming or trucking, to deliver unmatched meat quality. Licensed by the NSW Food Authority, they uphold strict hygiene and traceability standards, maintaining safety from field to table.
Deer population management assists in reducing environmental impact on the region. Not by one fell swoop from a helicopter, guns blazing and laying waste, but by consistently removing animals from the environment daily, all year around, year after year. The long term impact of this enterprise will reduce numbers, maintain management and contribute to the local economy.
