Livestock Farming 0 views
Deer blood is the blood of sika deer and red deer, which are animals of the Cervidae family, and is a precious traditional Chinese medicine. Since ancient times, it has been a treasured product for healing and strengthening the body among the imperial court, royalty, and high officials and nobles, and compound preparations based on it are called immortal elixirs. Deer blood has also spread widely among the common people and is regarded as a top-grade traditional Chinese medicine. As early as the Song Dynasty, there are records that after pricking the blood and drinking deer blood raw, the skin became full and the person had a healthy appetite. In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen made a relatively detailed study of the medical effects of deer blood, recording in the Compendium of Materia Medica that it greatly tonifies deficiency and damage, benefits essence and blood, and resolves smallpox toxin and drug toxin, among others. He also proposed an effective method of taking it: pricking the blood from between the antlers of a deer and drinking it mixed with wine is even better. The Qing imperial family practiced this even more. According to Xu Ke's Qing Bai Lei Chao: when Wenzong was on the throne, his body was often ill, and his face was often yellow. The physicians said deer blood could be drunk, so @#@253@#@ were kept, and blood was ordered to be taken and presented daily. When the Anglo-French allied forces entered the capital, Xianfeng's coughing illness flared up severely, and he ordered deer blood to be taken for his use, but it could not be obtained in time, and so he died. In modern times, animal experiments and clinical studies have proven that deer blood indeed has multiple therapeutic and health-care effects, including beautifying the skin, treating anemia, regulating immunity, delaying aging, improving memory, resisting fatigue, and improving sexual function.

The water content of deer blood is 80%-81%, and organic matter accounts for 16%-17%, of which the main component is protein. The protein is rich in 19 kinds of amino acids and multiple enzymes. It also contains multiple lipids, free fatty acids, sterols, phospholipids, hormones, vitamins, and polysaccharides, among others. Ash accounts for 3%-4%, and it also contains multiple major and beneficial trace elements. In particular, deer blood also contains Y-globulin, cystine, lysine, creatine phosphokinase related to cardiac function, and coenzymes, among others. Fresh deer blood powder processed with modern advanced technology has a water content of no more than 1%, and its protein content reaches more than 96%. Comparative testing has shown that fresh deer blood powder of the same weight provides more bioactive substances than high-quality deer antler velvet.

In recent years, with the continuous deepening of research and development into deer products and the growing recognition of natural green health-care foods and medicines, the medicinal and health-care value of deer blood has attracted more attention both domestically and internationally, and the market has also shown greater demand. This has provided new development space and opportunities for our country's deer industry and related pharmaceutical and health product industries.
