Nuôi hươu nai lấy nhung dễ hay khó?


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".

Được biết, sau 2 năm nuôi, thì hươu giốngnai giống đực bắt đầu mọc sừng non màu hồng nhạt trông rất mịn được dân gian gọi là nhung. Nhung từ khi mọc đến khi cắt khoảng 50-55 ngày. Nhung nai tốt nhất là khi cao khoảng 26cm và hươu là 22cm. Khi cắt nhung phải dùng dụng cụ sắc và được khử trùng cẩn thận, cắt xong phải tiến hành cầm máu nhanh để tránh mất sức cho hươu, nai. Sau đó cho hươu, nai ăn 3 lần vào sáng, trưa, tối và bổ sung thêm thức ăn tinh bột như: cám gạo, cám ngô để giúp chúng nhanh hồi sức. Bình quân mỗi con hươu một năm thu được 0,5 - 1 ký nhung và nai 1,5 - 3 ký nhung. Hiện tại giá bán ngay tại các trang trại là 450 ngàn đồng/100gam nhung nai và 850 ngàn đồng/100gam nhung hươu. Hươu, nai nếu chăm sóc tốt có thể cho nhung đến 30 năm. Nhung hươu, nai từ xưa đã được coi là loại dược liệu quý hiếm, bổ dưỡng dùng cho người thiếu máu, người già...


Theo các chủ trại chuyên nuôi hươu, nai lấy nhung, nhu cầu mua nhung trên thị trường hiện nay lượng cung không đủ cầu. Nếu muốn mua nhung với số lượng lớn, khách hàng phải đặt hàng từ đầu mùa thu hoạch.


Không chỉ nuôi hươu, nai lấy nhung, các trại chủ thường nuôi thêm hươu, nai cái sinh sản để tự cung cấp nguồn giống, đồng thời việc bán con giống cũng cho họ khoản thu không thua kém gì nhung. Hươu, nai phối giống tự nhiên và nuôi con bằng sữa mẹ đến 4 tháng tuổi mới tách ra nuôi riêng. Nai 3 năm sinh sản hai lần và hươu một năm sinh sản một lần. Nai giống khoảng 6 tháng tuổi hiện nay có giá 50 triệu đồng/cặp và hươu 15 triệu đồng/cặp. Chuồng trại để nuôi hươu, nai tương đối đơn giản, mỗi con chỉ cần diện tích khoảng 5m2 và  xung quanh được quây bằng lưới B40 cao 2m. Chi phí chăm sóc, mua thức ăn cho hươu, nai chỉ khoảng 2-3 triệu đồng/con/năm.

* 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.

Travel Tay Ninh

The capital of the same-named province, Tay Ninh is situated 95 km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City and is the original home of the Cao Dai religion. 

The town itself is a bit of a nondescript affair -- accommodation and eateries are available, but very few travellers choose to overnight here -- primarily because the tours from Saigon are so affordable -- some going for as little as US$2 per person! Read more: Vietnam travel

The people flock her to see the Cao Dai Holy See -- the great temple of the Cao Dai faith -- which sits a few km outside of town. A garish meld of styles and influences, the temple is dominated by the divine eye which is the religion's representation of God -- for those who are curious, it's a left eye. The temple is done out in hues of pink and baby blues, with a brilliant interior bedecked with eight grandiose pillars wrapped with writhing dragons, and a clouded pastel blue sky that wouldn't be out of place in a Vegas casino -- you really have to see the place to believe it. The faith has built temples all over the region -- especially in the Mekong Delta -- but this is the biggest, brightest and the best. Read more: Mekong delta cruise

Travel Tay Ninh


The Cao Dai beliefs are a curious mix of Mahayana Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism with a decent dash of home-grown remedies thrown into the mix. The religion came out of activities of the Vietnamese public officer and mystic, Ngo Minh Chieu, who was on the receiving end of revelations from 1919 onwards, culminating in the founding of the religion in 1926. These revelations are believed to have come directly from God. For a belief which once had a standing army of over 20,000 the practices laid out in these revelations are decidedly non-violent -- frequent prayer, veneration of ancestors, non-violence and vegetarianism are all centrepieces. Treasure junk 

It's the Cao Dao prayers that forms the key attraction at the Holy See from a tourist's perspective. Ritual prayers are held four times daily with the midday session the most likely one you'll see if you visit as a part of a tour from Saigon. Be aware that while you're permitted to photograph the prayers from the upstairs terrace (where all the tourists are herded) you're not permitted to take pictures of individuals without first asking permission. As with most temples, respectful attire is required -- no singlet tops, shorts, nor, need it be said, bikini tops.

If you decide to visit the temple independently, aim for a prayer session other than the midday one as you'll have far fewer tourists to share the spectacle with.

To reach Tay Ninh from Saigon catch a bus from either Tay Ninh or Mien Tay bus stations in Saigon. The trip will take two to three hours. Once you're in Tay Ninh, walk, or get a xe-om to the temple itself.
