international studbook hartmann's mountain zebra - Marwell Zoo

Explanations
The studbook with a full historical listing will be published as pdf file and CD every year. Should you require
a printed copy, please contact me.
All animals registered in the studbook have been issued with a unique studbook number. Even if stillborn,
animals will still be entered into the database as this is useful for reproductive analysis and also future
demographic analysis.
I would urge all registrars to enter these numbers into their records.
The regularity of contact (or the lack of contact) with holding institutions, is constantly monitored. If no
information has been given for a specimen for a considerable time and all efforts to receive information from
an institution prove to be fruitless, this holder will be listed as "lost to follow up" and be removed from the
studbook.
I have now added the Inbreeding Coefficient behind every living animal, so you can see this information for
your animals at a glance. Please note that the animals born after 2003 in Canyon Colorado Equid Sanctuary
have unknown parents. Therefore I could not provide a correct Inb. Coefficient.
Studcards:
Due to the fact that most AZA and EAZA institutions are reporting any animal records to ISIS, they will no
longer be issued with studcards or specimen report print outs. These will only be sent to non ISIS members.
If you still hold studcards, please proceed to use them as before and return them to the studbook keeper upon
the death of the animal.
Death & Post Mortem:
Upon the animal’s death, the “passport” should be sent to the studbook keeper together with the photos and a
copy of the Post Mortem report.
