Directory of Veterinary Guidelines and Resource Documents
EAZA TAGs and EEPs produce excellent guidelines and resource documents on the health management of the species and taxa they manage. In order to help veterinarians on the ground caring for these species, the Joint EAZA/EAZWV Veterinary Advisor Working Group has produced this directory of veterinary guidelines and relevant resource documents.
The resources here included fall into a number of different categories:
| Document | Description |
|---|---|
| EAZA Best Practice Guidelines |
Produced by the various TAGs to merge expert husbandry knowledge.
Each contains an animal health section authored by the TAG or EEP
official veterinary advisors. This is the recommended resource for veterinarians wishing to review EAZA approved guidelines for husbandry and health management of a species or taxonomic group. Not all EEPs/TAGs have produced Best Practice Guidelines yet. |
| EAZWV Transmissible Diseases Handbook |
Produced by the Joint EAZWV/EAZA Infectious Diseases Working
Group. Includes peer reviewed fact sheets on key transmissible
diseases of animals, and chapters outlining EAZA and EAZWV
approved management guidelines for specific diseases. This is the recommended resource for veterinarians wishing to review EAZA and EAZWV approved guidelines and general information on transmissible diseases affecting various taxonomic groups. Click here to be directed to the Transmissible Diseases Handbook web page. |
| Other EAZA TAG/EEP Veterinary Documents | EAZA TAG/EEP veterinary advisors often produce other useful resources for practitioners caring for EAZA managed species. These will in time be integrated into the Best Practice Guidelines but may initially exist as standalone documents. |
| Other Veterinary Resources | These documents are not produced directly by EAZA TAG/EEP veterinary advisors or the EAZWV/EAZA Infectious Diseases Working Group but have been indicated by them as documents of particular interest to practitioners caring for EAZA managed species. |
