Moose, elk and deer produce new antlers yearly (primarily males, except caribou/reindeer). When the new antler grows, it is covered with short hair which looks like “velvet”. It is referred to as ‘velvet antler’. This grows rapidly from about March or April until July.
Velvet antler refers particularly to the whole cartilaginous antler at a pre-calcified stage, rather than the velvety “skin” on growing antlers. The antler will become hardened (calcified) and will fall off before spring. The antlers, both calcified and the soft new ones, are an important ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine.

How is it harvested?
Health Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and the Alberta government have set strict regulations for the practice of elk ranching. Elk are raised on spacious farms with plenty of room to roam. This free-range environment promotes healthy and normal development.
All elk processed in Alberta undergo mandatory and rigorous testing. Elk ranching is a government-regulated industry controlled under the Livestock Industry Diversification Act. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency(CFIA) regularly inspects elk herds and tests for illnesses.
The antler removal process is approved by veterinarians.The harvesting is done under a protocol developed with the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association. This protocol requires training and certification of the owners/operators so that it is done humanely.
