As
poor care will lead to poor health, the camp makes sure that
only the best and most sanitary nutrition and treatments are
provided to all elephants in order to make them stay mentally
and physically vigorous. Deworming, which is given to each
elephant once in two years, supplementary food and vaccination
are some of the basic types of health care that we provide
our elephants on a regular basis.

To
keep watch on their physical and mental health intimately
and constantly, we provide our mahouts, who each have
an individual elephant under their responsibility, with
knowledge of first aid and disease symptoms to let them
help the veterinarian take care of their health and
identify their illnesses. |

All
of our mahouts are qualified by the Livestock Department.
Some of the camp’s outstanding health care projects
include Estrous Cycle and Heat Detection and the study
on the Developing Semen Freezing Technique for Artificial
Insemination Project for which the camp was selected
as a centre for the study by the Institute of Zoo and
Wildlife Research, Berlin (IZW) and the Smithsonian
Institute, National Zoological Park, |
Convention

of Veterinary Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Mahidol University
