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!

RGRHBR502 - Manage reproductive outcomes of stallions and mares

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

Manage reproductive performance

  1. Identify and assess risks associated with managing the reproductive outcomes of stallions and mares for the operation, and implement control measures
  2. Manipulate oestrus to meet breeding program and other requirements
  3. Provide and adjust appropriate levels of nutrition and exercise as breeding animals are let down from work or brought into optimal breeding condition
  4. Collect and analyse semen to assess fertility
  5. Assess breeding health of stud stock and take appropriate action to maximise fertility and breeding performance
  6. Establish education requirements of stallions and provide additional training by experienced handler according to workplace practices
  7. Monitor work health and safety and hygiene procedures, and communicate to staff
  8. Implement biosecurity and infection control procedures to minimise uterine infection and transmission of sexually transmittable infections and diseases for both stallions and mares
  9. Maintain stud records according to workplace requirements
  10. Ensure rules of breed registries, relevant equine disciplines and regulatory requirements are adhered to
