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!

Evidence:
|
Characteristics of under or over supply of nutrients are identified and methods used to monitor nutritional uptake are evaluated and practised. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Evaluate food sources and calculate dietary requirements
|
|
Foodstuffs are classified according to nutrient content. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Foodstuffs are evaluated for shelf life, preparation requirements, availability and cost. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Hazards to animal and human health from food sources are identified and methods used to manage potential risks are implemented. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Feed weight and water requirements are estimated based on animal profiles. Completed |
Evidence:
|
