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!

ACMVET408 - Provide nutritional advice and support for animals

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

Assess nutritional requirements of animals

  1. Evaluate the patient’s needs as the basis for provision of support and advice
  2. Document animal’s dietary history
  3. Classify animals according to natural nutrient sources and types of digestive systems
  4. Align normal feeding behaviours and nutritional requirements of animal for stage of life
  5. Evaluate feeding strategies and methods to maximise enrichment
  6. Identify characteristics of under or over supply of nutrients

Evaluate food sources and calculate dietary requirements

  1. Interpret nutritional information on food label
  2. Identify most appropriate feeding method for animal
  3. Evaluate methods used to monitor nutritional uptake
  4. Identify WHS hazards to animal and human health from food sources and implement procedures to manage risks
  5. Determine feed and water requirements based on animal profile
  6. Estimate protein, carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral supplement and fibre needs based on animal profile
  7. Identify other dietary issues relevant to the animal and factor into dietary calculations
