QUAGGA PROJECT ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE

Report Back by Co-coordinator

June 2007

ASSETS UPDATE

  1. Refer to call account/cash invested by QPA Treasurer
  2. 80 animals in 12 locations (see chart below)

ANIMAL MOVEMENTS

  1. Animal movements required

-from Boland to Far Horizons (unnamed young stallion)

-Vlakenheuwel have two good mares from the pair there. These mares must be moved before the father (only stallion there) cover his daughter. (or a new stallion must be brought in)

-Kranskop and Knorkoek need mares, they each have only one stallion

-Next major animal movement program needs to be established. Eric Harley et al must establish which animals need to be moved to which location (eliminate cross breeding etc)

UPDATE OF STUD BOOK

  1. Bernard Wooding done a full audit on the animal locations, and has taken photos and updated the digital format stud book
  2. Big word of thanks to Bernard for this work well done
  3. Groote Schuur needs to be updated and confirmed as data on stud book file is out of date (animals have been removed in the sale programme)
  4. all other locations are checked and confirmed as a true record of the stud book file information
  5. all animals in the herd now are confirmed as Quaggas in terms of Eric Harley’s scoring system (few foals still to be confirmed), it appears that the striping gene has been successfully diminished
  6. there are a number of animals without names in the new stud book, these need to be addressed (naming sub-committee?)
  7. The stud book in digital format can now be updated and used as a tool in determining the breeding of various animas in achieving the final goals of the QP
  8. Animals that stand out in particular are

-Pampoenvallie (Henry and a another new foal)

-Vlakkenheuwel (2 unnamed mare foals)
