Husbandry Manual

The Husbandry Manual must:

  • outline the management requirements of the species, such as feeding and housing standards and record keeping standards.
  • describe how and when husbandry manual components will be implemented and assessed.
  • meet the standards outlined in the Husbandry Manual template.

The Husbandry Manual may:

  • be generic and used by a number of institutes that cover a number of similar species (e.g all Nestor genus parrots) especially when a co-ordinated programme is run with other institutions. In these cases the generic plan may be submitted with any relevant modifications that apply to the submitting institution.
