In the study, physical properties of Elk antler was investigated to develop the optimum drying and packaging methods for improving the antler quality as well as deal with diversify of demand. After the antler was sliced with 5 mm thickness, and the compressive, shear, and tensile stresses were measured at the center and velvet parts of pro-dried and dried antlers after the contained water rate of the dred antlers was maintained below 10%. The results are as follows. 1. Considering the center of pre-dried antlers, the compressive stresses were 60.73 g/㎟, 145.65 g/㎟, and 260.97 g/㎟, respectively at the upper, middle, and lower parts while 70.67 g/㎟, 811.90 g/㎟, 3,235.52 g/㎟, respectively for velvet layer.
