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.
