This handbook is dedicated to their care. As an innovative expert publication, it integrates all aspects of professional care, including topics such as behaviour, ethics, environmental enrichment, training, veterinary care, nutrition and habitat design. Each animal is unique in their preferences, physical and emotional needs. Ageing animals may change their behaviour, alter the use space, and may also experience events and their relationships with their carers differently than they used to. The ageing process and death of an individual can be a significant event for others in their group, as well as the human carers. This book consolidates best practices for supporting and assessing optimal ageing animal wellbeing. It describes practical and science-informed approaches and philosophies regarding the care of ageing wild animals in zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, universities and laboratories in a single source. This is an invaluable reference for veterinarians, animal care professionals, animal welfare researchers and students, and anyone with an interest in caring for animals. Personal stories and beautiful images of ageing individuals brightening the start of each chapter and remind us that what we do must be in the best interest of the animal and be at the heart of their care. 606 $aVeterinary medicine 606 $aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aAnimal culture 606 $aVeterinary Science 606 $aAnimal Ethics 606 $aAnimal Physiology 606 $aAnimal Science 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 615 0$aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aAnimal culture. 615 14$aVeterinary Science. 615 24$aAnimal Ethics. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aAnimal Science. 676 $a636.0889 700 $aBrando$b Sabrina$01460545 701 $aChapman$b Sarah$01460546 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910770261603321 996 $aOptimal Wellbeing of Ageing Wild Animals in Human Care$93660346 997 $aUNINA
