Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ACMGAS303 - Plan for and provide nutritional requirements for animals

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Identify nutritional requirements of animals

  1. Classify animals according to natural nutrient sources and types of digestive systems
  2. Align normal feeding behaviours and nutritional requirements of a range of animals
  3. Evaluate feeding strategies and methods to maximise activity and behavioural enrichment
  4. Identify characteristics of under- or over-supply of nutrients, and evaluate methods used to monitor nutritional uptake

Evaluate food sources and calculate dietary requirements

  1. Classify foodstuffs according to nutrient content
  2. Evaluate foodstuffs for shelf life, preparation requirements, availability and cost
  3. Identify hazards to animal and human health from food sources, and implement procedures to manage risks
  4. Calculate feed weight and water requirements, based on animal profile
  5. Calculate protein, carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral supplement and fibre needs, based on animal profile
  6. Identify other dietary issues relevant to the animal's profile, and factor into dietary calculations
  7. Prepare and document diet plans after supervisor approval and according to the organisation’s policies and procedures
