The quality of deer antler is good in the first few years of harvesting

Remove the velvet at the right time. The antlers of young male deer are harvested in mid-June of the first year. For deer over two years old, the antlers need to be harvested when they have grown into two bars with a concave tip and the third fork has not yet grown out. At this time, the antlers are of good quality and high value.

Generally, the first crop is harvested in late June and the second crop is harvested in late August. Before removing the antlers, anesthetics should be injected into the buttocks. Generally, a deer weighing 100 kg should be injected with 0.3 ml of succinylcholine chloride injection at a time; after removing the antlers, 6 ml of 25% nikethamide injection should be injected quickly. After the deer that has been injected with anesthetics falls to the ground, iodine is used to disinfect the area around the roots of its antlers. After the antlers are cut, the antler stubble is disinfected with iodine again. Hemostatic drugs or crushed prickly tendon grass (a kind of hemostatic grass) mixed with old lime and an appropriate amount of dragon bones are applied to the antler stubble to stop bleeding.
