A literature review of seasonal changes in metabolism and food intake and the accumulation of energy deposits (fat) during the natural mast period in autumn is linked to the results of feeding trials with roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) using supplementary feeding and/or planted crops to simulate the mast which is missing in conifer forests planted mainly for timber production. The results indicate that autumn mast simulation is more physiological and effective in reducing forest damage and increasing game quality than the traditional "emergency" winter feeding as practiced in Central Europe over hundred years.
对秋季自然结实期新陈代谢和食物摄入量的季节性变化以及能量储备（脂肪）积累的文献综述，与对狍（Capreolus capreolus）和马鹿（Cervus elaphus）进行的饲养试验结果相关。这些饲养试验通过补充饲料和/或种植作物来模拟主要用于木材生产的针叶林中缺失的结实情况。结果表明，与中欧百年来实行的传统“应急”冬季喂养相比，秋季模拟结实对减少森林损害和提高猎物质量更符合生理规律且更有效。
