Mammal Husbandry Manuals


		Captive Management Husbandry Manuals This Husbandry Manual Register is in two parts; 1. The first section is an index of Mammal Taxonomic Orders. Click on the Taxonomic link to be taken to the relevant section within the second section of the Registry. Please note that Husbandry Manuals are not currently available for all groups or species. 2. The second section provides the contact details for the Husbandry Manuals known to us from the taxonomic group you have selected, listed by Taxonomic Family. If the contact details for a specific Manual has changed or you know of, or are searching for, a specific Manual which is not listed here, please contact me and I will endeavour to assist. Many of the following Husbandry Manuals are available from one or more of the regional Zoo Management Associations; unfortunately in most cases you need to be a financial member of the relevant Association in order to be eligible to obtain a copy of a Manual. However, wherever possible, contact details for obtaining a copy directly from the authors (or elsewhere) is provided.
