Ông Nguyễn Công Hà ở ấp Miễu, xã Phước Tân (huyện Long Thành) - một người nổi tiếng trong nghề nuôi hươu, nai lấy nhung cho biết: "Nuôi hươu, nai chăm sóc rất dễ, vì chúng vốn là động vật hoang dã nên sức đề kháng cao, ít khi bị bệnh. Thức ăn của chúng là tất cả các loại lá cây và cỏ. Một con hươu trưởng thành ăn 5 ký cỏ hoặc lá/ngày và nai là 10 ký/ngày. Vào mùa cắt nhung hươu, nếu cho chúng ăn thêm tinh bột khoảng 300-500gam/ngày và những lá cây có nhiều nhựa như sung, mít, đu đủ... thì chất lượng nhung sẽ tốt hơn".

* Để mua được nhung thật

Bà Đào Thị Thìn ở xã Bắc Sơn (huyện Trảng Bom) một người có thâm niên gần 30 năm trong nghề nuôi hươu, nai lấy nhung cho biết: "Cách tốt nhất để tránh mua phải nhung giả là người mua trực tiếp đến tận trang trại và đợi người ta cắt nhung xong thì mua. Trong trường hợp không có mặt tại chỗ khi người ta cắt nhung, thì khi mua nên cắt ra xem thật kỹ, nhung còn tươi có màu hồng nhạt, mềm và bên ngoài có lớp lông măng mịn như nhung. Còn nhung giả, bên trong thường được làm bằng thạch cao". Ông Hà ở ấp Miễu, xã Phước Tân cũng cho biết, nhung thật khi sấy khô có màu xám đen và rất cứng, nhung giả sấy khô thường mềm. Song, người không quen rất dễ nhầm lẫn, tốt nhất là khi mua nhung nên chờ cắt xong là lấy về, làm như vậy nhung sẽ đảm bảo về chất lượng.

Những người nuôi hươu, nai còn cho biết thêm, nhung hươu, nai tươi bảo quản trong ngăn đá của tủ lạnh có thể để được từ 2-3 tháng. Cách dùng tốt nhất là thái nát hoặc nghiền nhỏ nấu cháo, ngoài ra có thể dùng ngâm rượu. Nếu muốn để lâu nên sấy khô, nhưng chỉ sấy ở nhiệt độ 50 độ C, nhiệt độ cao quá sẽ mất đi chất bổ dưỡng trong nhung.
