Unit of Competency RGRHBR501 - Plan and implement an enterprise horse breeding strategy
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to plan, develop and implement a horse breeding strategy for an enterprise or stud farm.This unit is applicable to individuals who have specialised skills, technical and theoretical knowledge of the horse breeding sector, and management responsibilities for the breeding strategy for a horse stud.No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Work health and safety and animal welfare legislation relevant to interacting with horses applies to workers in this industry. Requirements vary between industry sectors and state/territory jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant authority for specific requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Plan horse breeding strategy
  • Determine breeding objectives based on business or operational model of the enterprise in consultation with relevant personnel
  • Identify and arrange resources to support breeding objectives
  • Select breeding methods to optimise results and consistency
  • Assess financial costs and economic returns for breeding strategy
  • Formulate breeding strategy to meet enterprise objectives and performance indicators to evaluate outcomes
       
Element: Apply genetic principles to horse breeding strategy
  • Determine required traits suited to horse purpose that can be selected using genetic qualitative and quantitative principles
  • Apply genetic principles and analyse horse population data to predict results of possible matings to achieve desired traits
  • Develop strategies for maximising gene frequencies for required traits
  • Predict outcomes of possible matings to achieve required traits
  • Develop a strategy to achieve genetic progress within enterprise herd
       
Element: Select horses for breeding
  • Determine criteria for selecting horses to breed based on heritability and purpose of horse
  • Analyse individual horse records for heritability, pedigree and progeny information to select breeding stock
  • Check and monitor selected horses to ensure condition and welfare status meet breeding program requirements
  • Select horses for breeding based on genetic characteristics, considering enterprise and/or client objectives
       
Element: Monitor breeding program
  • Supervise implementation of the breeding program for efficiency and effectiveness
  • Prioritise and implement changes necessary to achieve breeding objectives
  • Examine and control allocated resources within enterprise budgetary constraints
       
Element: Evaluate horse breeding strategy
  • Collate and analyse breeding data and records to evaluate program
  • Assess breeding selection criteria, data and outcomes against enterprise objectives and breeding strategy
  • Review performance of facilities, resources and equipment for effectiveness and efficiency
  • Document relevant information for continuous improvement and to inform future breeding practice

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
