Animal welfare is inseparable from the conservation, research and educational actions carried out by the teams in the zoo. However, with a diversity of important species and several dozen or hundreds of animals, monitoring and evaluating well-being is complex to implement.To facilitate monitoring and evaluation, the Akongo design office has developed, in collaboration with users, a mobile application. This tool provides a global vision, with both information at an instant t and long-term monitoring of individuals. The questionnaires are adapted by species (ex: primates, lemurs, big cats, birds, etc.). The results are calculated automatically and a summary and a quick visualization of the well-being indicators by individuals and / or group is available.This mobile application, accompanied by online software, allows user establishments:- Administration and management of well-being assessment protocols.- Management of the assessment schedule for different individuals (eg monthly, quarterly, etc.).- The rapid visualization of indicators of well-being by individuals and / or group allowing to identify priority actions, and to ensure the relevance of the actions undertaken.- Alert management on factors seriously compromising the welfare of animals as well as on possible delays or failure to complete the questionnaires.- The archiving and export of this data in a secure manner.This includes having a tool based on scientific parameters to assess animal welfare and identify priority actions. This tool will also facilitate the sharing of information during regulatory inspections.Use of the application is reserved for professionals.
