Where to Start
You have two options when fulfilling the husbandry manuals requirement:
1. You can look for existing husbandry manuals for your specific breed.
2. You can look for husbandry manuals on other breeds of the same animal and adapt them.
Existing Husbandry Manuals
Husbandry manuals for some animals are freely available online already. You can start with a basic Google search or check out the websites of some groups interested in those breeds and conservation.
Adapting Husbandry Manuals
Many times, you won't be able to find a husbandry manual specific to your breed.
There are many husbandry manuals available from the AZA and other professional organizations which can be adapted.
