Moose Husbandry Training at the Minnesota Zoo - A Partnership Between Zookeepers and Animal Health

In this behind-the-scenes video, we explore what “husbandry training” is at the Minnesota Zoo, how it is practiced, and the ways in which it helps us to provide the best possible healthcare for our animals. We focus on moose husbandry training with nine-and-a-half-year-old Aurora but this training applies to many animals in residence at the Zoo. Husbandry training prepares animals to voluntarily participate in their own daily care with zookeepers which, in turn, enables Animal Health staff to pursue proactive healthcare and promote treatments that seek to minimize stress for both the caregiver and the animal. Watch to find out more details and to learn what’s on the horizon for this program in the future!
