VMD 512: Zoo/Wild Animal Breeding, Management, Nutrition and Health Care (1+1)

QUARANTINE UNIT

• This is a procedure in which the newly arrived animals into the zoo are kept in confinement in a separate place for a specified length of time.
• Each zoo should have the housing and isolation capabilities separately in order to truly quarantine the animals. It is better that the place of quarantine should be away from the zoological park or zoological garden or the zoo.
• The quarantine period may be extended depending on the clinical assessment by the attending veterinarian if there is a requirement for that, technically.
