How to apply for a permit to farm Hazel Grouse

Hazel Grouse is a national second-class protected animal and can be handled by the forestry departments of each province. There is no wild distribution in Shandong. Hazel Grouse currently sold on the market are all illegal acts. Due to various reasons, there is still no established breeding farm so far. Even if there are ideas, the problem of introducing breeding stock cannot be solved, and the low reproduction rate during the breeding process also affects the development of the population.

Physiological characteristics of Hazel Grouse

1. Chicks have unstable body temperature, so they need to rely on an appropriate constant-temperature environment; their digestive function is not fully developed, and they are not good at digesting non-animal protein foods; newborn chicks weigh only about 10 grams, have sparse down and are not cold-resistant, and have poor stress resistance, so temperature must be ensured during the brooding period.

2. At the same time, the equipment for feeding Hazel Grouse is simple and management is extensive (the key is to do a good job in sanitation and epidemic prevention). Overall, it is a relatively easy rare bird to raise. Preparation of brooding cages and housing: before the chicks arrive, thoroughly clean, scrub, and disinfect the inside and outside of the brooding room and the utensils, then spray the brooding walls and scrub with 2% sodium hydroxide or 0.3% toxic solution.

After reading the above introduction, the editor thinks that artificially farming Hazel Grouse is still quite troublesome. With this money, it would be better to buy a Hazel Grouse to eat, and applying for a farming permit is becoming more and more troublesome now. Unless someone has special background and can spend the time, ordinary people should forget it.
