Who do I call/email about these requirements? (IE health department, etc)
We're looking to have our property purchased by summer and start working on our facility.
We've been doing a lot of research and think we have a great shot at this, especially since a lot of the people just starting up are making novice business moves and are screwing themselves from the get go.
Seems like no one has a business degree or even general business knowledge with how they're going about this (from what I've seen). Quite sad.
The USDA regulates the breeding of certain kinds of animals. For an example, sugar gliders and hedgehogs are regulated by the USDA. There is a rodent breeder who raves that his facility is USDA licensed... I was curious why he would become USDA licensed if he was only breeding rats.
USDA licensing is a Federal thing, not a state thing, so theoretically, it should not depend on location. IE if you're breeding sugar gliders in NY, there are the same laws as per USDA as if you're breeding sugar gliders in Nevada.
This is the company.
Could it be that they are breeding other animals that are regulated by the USDA?
