Plum deer is a relatively small species in the deer family, with the adult plum deer being about 1.3 meters long and 170 pounds in length.


Their coat color changes depending on the season, generally, in early summer, the coat color is chestnut red, and in winter it becomes smoky brown.


People usually choose to cut off the antlers of the deer early in the spring and summer to prevent them from fighting with each other and hurting each other.


And since the deer are renewable, doing so will not affect their health.


When spring comes each year, the deer will start to grow new antlers, which are very soft and called antlers.


By the end of summer, the antlers of the deer will begin to harden.


At this time, even if people do not cut antlers, the male deer will start to rub their antlers on various objects, rubbing off the furry skin on the surface of the antlers.


Since at this time, the skin on the surface of the antlers still contains capillaries, there will also be a bloody situation.


And after entering October, the mergansers will start to enter the mating season.


At this time, the deer will be very irritable, often fighting over their mates, and their long antlers can easily cause harm to their own kind.


After winter, their antlers will be completely boned and become very strong and sharp, further increasing their threat level.


Then, in late winter and early spring, their hard antlers begin to fall off naturally, and new ones begin to grow, and so on and so forth.


Therefore, in order to protect the deer and prevent them from hurting each other due to their sharp antlers, they have to cut off their antlers.


However, the antlers are very soft and vascular during the growing season.


At this time, antlers contain a lot of blood, and it is often very painful for deer to choose to cut their antlers.


People use numbing medicine for these deer in order to take care of their feelings and reduce their pain. And the antler's root is tied tightly with soaked hemp rope.


This is because there are rich blood vessels in the antler so that the antler will not lose too much blood after being sawed.


Then the antler is quickly sawed off with sterilized tools and the prepared powder is immediately sprinkled on the wound to help the deer to stop bleeding and bandage it to prevent infection and minimize the damage as much as possible.


Although the mergansers may be in some pain at this point, by doing so, they do avoid the possibility of injury later when they fight with each other.


So, in the long run, if done correctly, antler cutting is a form of protection for the stag.


Also, stags' antlers are eventually shed naturally every year.


One of the main uses of farmed mergansers is the antler collection.


The antler is a young antler that grows like a spring shoot in the spring.


The antlers have a slender layer of hair on the unboned surface and are rich in blood vessels and nerves.


Because of its richness in amino acids and inorganic elements, it is used as a valuable tonic to prevent and treat many diseases.


So don't worry that cutting antlers won't cause much harm to the deer.


The antlers are also very regenerative, and after the first antler is cut from May to July, new ones will grow again in about two months.
