The work functions in this Unit are likely to be carried out under minimal supervision within industry guidelines. Candidates undertaking this Unit will require access to work experience and/or employment within an equine NICU.
In addition to legal and ethical responsibilities, all units of competency in the ACM10 Animal Care and Management Training Package have the requirement for animals to be handled gently and calmly. The individual is required to exhibit appropriate care for animals so that stress and discomfort is minimised.
This Unit of Competency covers the skills and knowledge required to provide intensive care of compromised newborn foals during hospitalisation in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
