With
the number of threatened species increasing globally, conservation breeding is
vitally important now more than ever. However, no previous peer-reviewed study
has attempted to determine how the varying conditions across zoos have
influenced breeding by an extinct-in-the-wild species. We therefore used questionnaires and studbook data to evaluate the influence of husbandry
practices and enclosure design on scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah) breeding success, at the herd level. The data address various aspects of enclosure design and husbandry practice for 29 EEP institutions for the species.
