🌿 The theme for the 2026 Nordic Zookeeper Summit is Zoo Animal Nutrition! 🌿
Understanding nutrition is a critical skill for zookeepers and an essential part of providing excellent animal care and welfare. This year, we’re putting it at the centre of the Nordic Zookeeper Summit.
The SAZA Animal Welfare Working Group, together with our main speakers and Vildriket, is currently working out the final details of the two-day programme – and we’re promising a proper deep dive into zoo animal nutrition, combining science with practical, hands-on learning.
We’ll explore everything from diet formulation and digestive adaptations to feeding strategies, foraging behaviour, animal welfare and nutrition-related disease. Through talks, workshops and discussions, the focus will be on knowledge and tools that can be applied directly in everyday animal care.
👀 Stay tuned! We’ll soon introduce this year’s speakers and share more details about the programme.
🎟️ Registration for Nordic Zookeeper Summit 2026 will open within the next two weeks!
