Pilose antler is expensive and rich in nutrients such as protein and sugar. If stored carelessly, it is easy to be moth-eaten, moldy and deteriorated, which may reduce the efficacy and even lose medicinal value. ?
Therefore, it must be properly kept and stored. Pilose antler that has not been thoroughly dried or has been damp will be eaten by insects, making its texture lighter and incomplete. If properly kept, this phenomenon can be avoided and unnecessary losses can be reduced.
