Collection management in zoos depends on reproductive science to facilitate viable captive populations. Zoos Victoria is committed to increasing the sustainability of its collection by investing in the research and development of reproductive technologies and other tools. This will facilitate captive breeding and so improve the sustainability of our collection and the success of threatened species reintroduction programs.
Researchers from Taronga Western Plains Zoo are working with Australasian zoos to investigate the relationships between reproductive and stress hormones and captive-breeding success in Tasmanian Devils.
