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!

Determine breeding method
|
|
Options for artificial breeding are reviewed to determine most suitable and affordable method according to breeding objectives. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Artificial breeding option is selected and matched to resources and breeding objectives so as to meet the enterprise's livestock management program. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Resource implications of breeding programs are identified, sourced and arranged. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Program schedules are prepared according to available resources. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and clothing for breeding support staff and self according to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and enterprise requirements is made readily available. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Implement breeding method
|
|
Genetic material is obtained from reliable and legitimate sources. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Genetic material is received, checked and stored according to industry codes of practice, and to ensure maximum viability and program outcomes. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Where Artificial Insemination (AI) is the selected option, females are inseminated at the optimal stage of the oestrus cycle. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Where Embryo Transfer (ET) is the selected option for artificial breeding, checks are carried out to ensure intended recipients are prepared and correctly scheduled for ET according to confirmed pregnancy status, oestrus cycle, animal health and program schedule. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Where ET is the selected option for artificial breeding, hormone injections are provided to intended recipients at appropriate stages of transfer programs to maximise fertilisation and conception. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Where ET is the selected option for artificial breeding, transfers are conducted according to accepted industry practice. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Monitor and maintain program
|
|
Need for return to service of intended recipient is monitored through selected methods. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Appropriate arrangements are made for the care of sick and injured animals. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Adjustments in genetic material transfer practices are reviewed to enhance success of future programs. Completed |
Evidence:
|
Data on genetic material transfer programs is documented and maintained according to enterprise requirements. Completed |
