<DIV>VELVET ANTLERS--The Second Antler Science and Product Technology Symposium is scheduled for Queenstown, New Zealand in February 2004. The first ASPT Symposium was held at Banff, Canada. "Velvet antler" is not in the OED. According to this article in THE WEST COAST MESSENGER, 27 February 2002, pg. 8, col. 6:</DIV>
<DIV> Velvet antler refers to the early-stage antler growth on male deer. The whole antler is used in traditional Chinese medicine as a tonic for wellness in areas that include healthy immune function, vital energy and circulation. Popular in eastern healing modalities for thousands of years, velvet is gaining momentum in the west as a dietary supplement which positively influences the immune system, sports endurance and recovery, joint health and other anti-ageing issues.</DIV>
<DIV> New Zealand already leads the way in velvet antler production, supplying about half of the world's velvet antler. Annual exports from New Zealand, predominantly to the Republic of Korea, are valued at around 35 million dollars and account for approximately two thirds of the world trade in velvet antler.</DIV>
