Best Practice Guidelines
Best Practice Guidelines
EAZA Best Practice Guidelines are produced by the various Taxon Advisory Groups (TAGs) to merge expert husbandry knowledge and make it widely available within and outside the borders of the EAZA community. The guidelines displayed below show best practice standards, which EAZA zoos aim at achieving. They have been compiled using a template and made user-friendly to facilitate reading and the finding of necessary information.
The guidelines are of particular interest when building new enclosures, when deciding upon the nutrition of animals or when seeking information on the biology of the species. EAZA Members strive to house animals adequately to their needs and to give advice where needed to help further animal welfare. Please also see the EAZA Standards for Welfare, Accommodation and Management of Animals in Zoos and Aquariums.
