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.
CNYN COLO:
Many of you will know that Canyon Colorado Equid Sanctuary in New Mexico, probably the largest holder of equids
in captivity, has moved all their animals to new owners. Unfortunately, it was not possible for them to identify all
animals individually (which studbook number) and to inform the studbooks which equid is going where, and thus how
these animals are related. I have therefore decided to give all Hartmann’s mountain zebra which are transferred out of
CNYN COLO a temporary studbook number until the North American Equid TAG has decided how to deal with this
situation. By issuing temporary numbers the studbook can keep track of all Hartmann’s with CNYN COLO origin and
their offspring as well. This allows coordinators to analyse the relationship of future generations descending from these
animals. The animals recorded as being alive in CNYN COLO are now registered as lost-to-follow-up in the studbook.
