ZALA Recipe for Adequate Light in Animal Husbandry
Research
Coordinate
Research
Understanding an animal's photobiology through study, experiment, and data collection, is crucial to reduce random risks.
Evaluate
Coordinate
Research
Evaluating the differences of current conditions from 'natural light' conditions is vital for good husbandry and wildlife conservation alike.
Coordinate
Coordinate
Coordinate
Coordinate the key life cycle activities with the facilitating light conditions, including the optical properties of conspecifics and housing.
Identify
Coordinate
Identify significant departures from dynamic natural light conditions, and address architectural and operational conflicts.
Passive Design
Passively use local natural light, recognizing
inevitable differences due to development,
and between in-situ / ex-situ conditions.
Electric Therapy
View artificial, electric light with great care as a pharmaceutical. Monitor flicker, optical qualities, and incidental emissions carefully.
