With our animals, welfare is an evidence-based, measurable state that we monitor based on the latest research.

In our 4-part ‘Science-based Animal Care’ video series, we show how our keepers utilise the domains of Nutrition, Environment, Health, Behaviour, which make up the fifth domain, Mental State.

Join primate keeper Sam as we take a look at what this means for the primates we look after, beginning with analysing their diets with an internationally used software, ‘Zootrition’.
