Here is why:

 

Studies have shown that bone quality, in general, is enhanced by physical exercise and diet. A sedentary lifestyle reduces bone quality.

 

 

 

Lifestyle: Wild animals have an athletic lifestyle that promotes bone quality and balanced antler aesthetics. Balanced aesthetics are also favoured by the genetics of wild individuals.

 

 

 

Nutrition: Wild animals have a balanced and healthy diet. However, their diet may not always be sufficient to produce quality antlers. Farmed animals that are better fed, however, do not meet all the conditions for optimum antler quality. Even though wild individuals may have antlers that are not of the highest quality due to a lack of food, there is also a chance that other wild individuals have fed better and have very good quality antlers, combining the benefits of their wild lifestyle, their genetics and their diet. 

 

 

 

This is why, in addition to its ethics, DOMAIN CERVUS has chosen to favour its chances by sourcing quality wild cervid antlers.
