Zoo Nutrition Zoo Nutrition News July 1 999 Contents SPECIAL ISSUE 1 09 Nutrition Research in Zoo Animals 14 Starting a Nutrition Service 23 Central Kitchen System 30 Transferring Birds to Pellet Feeding 32 Feeding Enrichment in Bears First European Zoo Nutrition Meeting From the Organising Committee Dear member, Providing a good diet, which fulfils as many aspects of a natural diet as possible, is an essential consideration in improving the welfare of zoo animals. Although some research has already been conducted in the field of zoo animal nutrition and more is ongoing, there is still a great need for further investigation. Exchange of ideas, information and results is vital when developing zoo animal diets. On this premise we began to organise a conference focussed on zoo animal nutrition that eventually became the First European Zoo Nutrition Meeting, held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands from 9 -11 January 1999. The conference was organised by the EAZA Research Committee, the Veterinary Faculty of Utrecht and Rotterdam Zoo. When Jean-Michel Hatt (Veterinary Faculty of Zurich) and I started planning the conference at the beginning of 1998, we anticipated and would have been more than happy to welcome approximately 80 participants. So we were surprised and extremely pleased to have more then 180 delegates from 29 countries attend the conference. Most were European, however participants also travelled from the Republic of China, New Zealand, Bahrain, USA and Canada. Congress participants represented not only zoos but also the zoo animal food industry and nutrition research institutes. We never expected such a great response to this meeting. It can only mean that zoo animal nutrition is indeed an important issue within the zoo world. Steps should be taken to provide continued means of discussing and disseminating EAZA News July 1999 information relating to zoo animal nutrition. An open session was held at the end of the conference and a questionnaire 02 was sent to all participants, asking how this should be done in Europe in the future. All the conference participants received a set of abstracts from all of the presented talks and posters, more than 40 in total. More information on how to obtain a copy of the abstracts can be found on page 20 of this EAZA News special on Zoo Nutrition. All conference participants will, free of charge, receive a copy of the conference proceedings to be published at the end of this year. Details of how to obtain the conference proceedings can also be found on page 20. Some talks contained general information about zoo animal nutrition, which will be useful for all zoos. Therefore we decided to produce this special EAZA News focussing on the nutrition conference. Perhaps the most appropriate way to start this EAZA News special on Zoo Nutrition is with a current review of the status of zoo nutrition in Europe. Following that as a contrast, and perhaps a model of how European zoos should coordinate their nutrition information Special issue on Zoo Nutrition and research, the role of Nutrition Advisory Group of AZA is described. Throughout this newsletter and at every nutrition meeting there is always a call for more research. The article Zoo Nutrition Research describes the particular problems of the zoo nutritionist when designing research protocols. Two pages are devoted the Zootrition software, what is sure to become an essential tool for every zoo nutritionist. Basic guidelines on how to establish a zoo nutrition service follow. Information about the conference programme can be found in the centre of this issue. The idea of a centralised kitchen is common in North American zoos but unusual in Europe. Emmen Zoo, however, uses this system and describes how it works. A related article follows on the importance of food safety, an often overlooked issue. The importance of communication between zoo nutritionist and pathologist also receives attention in this EAZA News special on Zoo Nutrition. Commonly observed diet-related illnesses in birds are described, followed by an article with methods and tips on how to transfer birds to pellet feed. The final article relates to food presentation, another very important consideration when designing zoo diets. Many thanks to the EAZA Executive Office for their assistance and especially to Andrea Fidgett for English editing and Sofie van Wees, guest editor of this issue. Of course, it would not have been possible to publish this newsletter without the assistance of our sponsors, information about whom is also displayed in this special issue. I sincerely hope that this EAZA News special on Zoo Nutrition contributes to improving zoo animal nutrition – because our animals deserve better diets!

However the actual exchange of data lags EAZA News July 1999 - General aspects of zoo nutrition - Specific problems involving zoo nutrition behind. An explanation for why the information exchange 04 - Research relating to zoo nutrition does not take place lies in the method of recording diets. - Information and communication Most of the time, diet notes are in paper form only, which In this article the most important survey results are presented. restricts their distribution. Computerised diet notes in a standardised format would be much easier to exchange, An animal nutritionist is employed in only 20% of the especially now that many zoos have access to computers European zoos. Partly due to the lack of nutritional knowledge, and to the Internet in particular. In addition to agreeing on but probably also because of a lack of facilities, the percentage a standardised format, in order that nutrition software could of European zoos which conduct nutritional research is low be synchronised across many countries it is possible that Special issue on Zoo Nutrition (28%). Since these percentages have changed little since a newsgroups and regular meetings would also promote similar study was conducted five years ago, it is unrealistic to communication. The main objective in establishing these expect the situation will change in the near future. lines of communication would be to prevent people from ‘re-inventing the wheel’ – resources are often already On the other hand, approximately three-quarters of the limited. Therefore when a zoo in Spain for instance, participating zoos think that some diseases may have been has problems with a certain diet, it is often more simple caused by inadequate diets.

At the very beginning of this period, we did not exactly have it easy. When just before Christmas in 2002 I took over responsibility for the administration and future development of our city, Bratislava was a quarter of a billion in debt, which was due to be settled in the sum- mer of 2003, but with only one quarter of this amount available to cover it. In such an atmosphere it was not exactly the best of times to think about development constructions.

  • Survey of Owner Motivations and Veterinary Input of Owners Feeding Diets Containing Raw Animal Products
    Survey of owner motivations and veterinary input of owners feeding diets containing raw animal products Stewart K. Morgan1, Susan Willis2 and Megan L. Shepherd1 1 Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences/Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), Blacksburg, VA, United States 2 Center for Survey Research, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), Blacksburg, VA, United States ABSTRACT Background. The practice of feeding of diets containing raw animal products (RAP) to pets (dogs and cats) is discouraged by veterinary organizations and governmental public health organizations. Nevertheless, the practice of feeding RAP to pets is increasing in popularity. Pet owner motivations for feeding RAP diets to pets have not been explored and the benefits of RAP diets remain largely anecdotal. We hypothesized that pet owners feeding RAP diets would not rely on veterinary advice in choosing their pet's diet. We also hypothesized that these owners would have lower levels of trust in veterinary advice with respect to nutrition relative to pet owners not feeding RAP. Methods. An anonymous web-based survey was developed to identify pet owner moti- vations for feeding RAP diets, and to characterize the veterinarian-client relationships of individuals feeding RAP diets. Results. There were 2,337 respondents and 2,171 completed surveys. Of survey respondents, 804 reported feeding RAP at the time of the survey. While 20% of pet owners feeding RAP relied on online resources to determine what or how much RAP to feed, only 9% reported consulting with a veterinarian in making decisions about feeding RAP.

The pet needs are obvious and include the need for safe and healthy food which appears not a priority with the PFIAA.
