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

BREEDING DESIGN

• The housing arrangement should have facilities to facilitate the breeding related activities whenever required for the concerned wild animal species. For example:
• You may be required to lower the water in hippo pools to thirty to forty cms when birth of the hippo calf is expected.
• Hence, the housing arrangements have to be made with all such facilities that can enhance the breeding potential of the wild animal species.
• Escape route is a must for the male felids during mating with female animal.
