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!

RGRHBR405 - Supervise natural horse mating program

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

Make arrangements for natural mating

  1. Check breeding records for stallion and mare reproductive histories
  2. Select breeding stallions and mares for natural mating based on breeding history and other workplace records
  3. Bring animals into optimal breeding condition by providing and adjusting nutrition and exercise
  4. Assess breeding health and conformation of stallions and mares, and take action to maximise fertility and breeding performance
  5. Prepare facilities and equipment for natural mating

Monitor reproductive behaviour in stallions and mares

  1. Observe stallion behaviour for signs of reproductive activity and factors that can reduce fertility, and make arrangements for collecting semen according to workplace procedures
  2. Collect and analyse semen to assess fertility, and store to maintain viability
  3. Observe mare behaviour for signs of oestrus and determine timing for natural mating
  4. Manipulate oestrus to meet breeding program and other requirements
  5. Manage stallion breeding schedule to maximise fertility
