About

The growth medium from cultured deer antler velvet mesenchymal cells, subject to EU animal by-product restrictions that make compliance challenging.

Deer velvet MSC conditioned media is subject to EU Annex II/419 restriction under Regulation 1223/2009, referencing animal by-product regulations. Antler velvet is a vascularised tissue harvested from living deer, and cells derived from this tissue require Category 1 or 2 classification under Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009. Deer farming for velvet is common in New Zealand and China, but EU compliance requires extensive documentation of animal health status, sourcing farm registration, and compliance with TSE monitoring programmes.
