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!

ACMHBR501 - Manage horse nutrition

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

Assess the nutritional requirements of individual horses

  1. Analyse the main nutritional requirements of specific horses and the role each nutrient plays in the body
  2. Describe the symptoms or signs of nutrient deficiency and the consequences of dietary imbalances
  3. Determine horse nutritional requirements in terms of horse class, condition, growth stage and reproduction status
  4. Calculate feed requirements for horses using a range of measures

Analyse and calculate the value and composition of feed and pastures

  1. Determine a range of food types and supplements suitable for horses of different class, condition, growth stage and reproduction status
  2. Analyse the breakdown of foodstuffs in terms of their nutritional content and describe why they might be included in a ration
  3. Analyse the nutritional value of common pasture species and weeds and seasonal changes in availability, digestibility and nutritional value
  4. Calculate the impact of plant poisonings and chemical control as a result of spraying for weeds
  5. Address the impact of contaminants and additives on drug testing and rules relevant to equine disciplines

Plan feed programs for the workplace and design feed charts for the horse

  1. Determine availability of feed and pastures on a seasonal basis and analyse in relation to the nutritional needs of the horse with regard to class, condition and use
  2. Design and maintain a feeding program for the workplace, including the supervision of other staff as appropriate
  3. Design feed charts for each horse, including the formulation of rations to reflect the requirements of the horse
  4. Design a feed program that is cost-effective
  5. Evaluate and adjust nutritional value and cost-effectiveness of the feeding program based on evaluation outcomes
