Is the common moorhen a protected animal? Understanding its protection level in one article

The common moorhen has not yet been included in the national-level protected animal list, but it has been included in the "List of Terrestrial Wild Animals Protected by the State with Beneficial or Important Economic or Scientific Research Value." Because the common moorhen has a wide distribution range and is relatively common, it has not yet approached the point of being vulnerable or endangered, and the population of this group is usually relatively stable, so it is currently rated as a species with no survival crisis.

Is artificial breeding of the common moorhen allowed?

The common moorhen can be artificially bred, as it is not among China's protected animals, and its current numbers in the world are also very large. However, when breeding it artificially, there are many techniques that need to be mastered if you want a high survival rate.

1. When breeding artificially, you must first choose a good environment. You must choose a place with an open field of view and with a river or reservoir for breeding; if there is none, you need to build one artificially, and this is essential. Then the temperature generally needs to be maintained at around 20 degrees, as this will be more conducive to its growth.

2. Selecting the breed is something to do after preparation. There are many types of common moorhen, and everyone can choose one for raising according to their own actual situation. After buying common moorhen chicks, they need to be carefully fed for a period of time to let them slowly adapt to the new environment. For daily feeding, you can follow the principle of three times a day, feeding some small fish and shrimp. After their down gradually falls out, they can be released for free-range raising appropriately.

3. Around two months is the best period for free-range raising. During free-range raising, they can be allowed to forage on their own. They like to eat some insects, green vegetables, small fish and shrimp, and some feed can also be added artificially. During breeding, common moorhens can also develop some illnesses, the most common being colds, so you must always observe carefully. When illness is discovered, treatment must be carried out promptly to avoid large-scale infection and affect the breeding.

The above is the relevant introduction to whether the common moorhen is a protected animal. I hope it is helpful to everyone.
