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