Abstract

should not be overlooked, especially where herbivorous animals are concerned. The bone forming elements, calcium and phosphorus, should be present in adequate amounts in a ratio of I : I to z : I and, with caged animals not exposed to sunlight or not receiving any ultra-violet light, vitamin D is necessary. A lo good curator should a s be a student of nutrition or, better still, have a sufficiently wide biological knowledge to be an informed ‘biological detective’ in tracking down possible causes of ill health. The a n i m a l s under his care may have little choice in the food they eat. Admittedly diet is only one facet of management but malnutrition is an important facet which in itself can defeat all other managerial actions designed to maintain health.
