Velvet Pool Friday 12th February 2010                                                                                                                                                                                                     
Dear Velvet Producers,

The first pool conducted in November was packed and shipped to New Zealand in December. The product has now been graded and it expected that the first payment will be sent from New Zealand with the next two weeks.
Prices are well above the previous seasons returns. The first pool was a success as far as administration. However, it would have been far better had there been more product sent through ADH & CP to help keep handling costs down.

ADH & CP will conduct the next Australian Pool on Friday  12th February 2010. Product will be received, weighed and packed and made  ready for export to New Zealand Velvet Marketing  Ltd. for grading.

All velvet is to be delivered to “Express Refrigerated Cold Storage Distribution” at 110 Army Road, Pakenham, Vic 3810.
Phone – 03 5941 2444, by Friday 12 February 2010 at growers cost.

All product being consigned by courier should be clearly addressed to Australian Deer Horn & Co Products Pty Ltd c/- Express Refrigerated Cold Storage Distribution. Velvet Producers can deliver their product personaly to
Express at Pakenham on the Friday up until 2.00 pm. 
  
For further information on the ADH & CP pool and New Zealand Velvet Marketing refer to the last edition of “Australian Deer Farming” magazine – Spring 2009 Edition.

Please advise me of your estimated quantities ASAP

Yours Faithfully,

5th World Deer Congress
The 5th World Deer Congress is to be held in Changchun, Jilin Province, China on July 27-28, 2010.

The Congress is jointly sponsored by Jilin Agricultural University and Changchun Association for Science and Technology. Its purpose is to expand our knowledge exchange and cooperation in the field of deer science all over the world, promote the development and utilization of deer products in the field of medical care and health protection, etc., and quicken the drive of deer farming in the world context.

Jilin Province is located in North-Eastern China, where the world famous Sika deer originated.Jilin Province is also the earliest recorded place for artificial breeding of deer in the world with more than 300 years of history. After years of scientific research and productive practice, our university has accumulated a very rich experience in the aspects of medical care and health protection. We have made outstanding technical progress, with the products derived from deer now developed into hundreds of types and uses.

In order to promote worldwide deer farming development to improve the level of deer science, encourage and speed the application of deer products to the field of the medicine and health care, we believe this congress will provide an opportunity for deer farmers and experts from all parts of the world to enhance business, scientific and technological contacts and cooperation, and to open a channel for bilateral and multiple common research and development of deer products.

As Chairman of the 5th World Deer Farming Congress, I sincerely invite you, your friends and your colleagues to Jilin Agricultural University, Changchun, Jilin Province, China. I believe, with your attendance and involvement, the 5th World Deer Congress will be a great success.
