As Research constitutes one of the objectives of the zoo, it is proposed to make this section functional. This section will continue to collect data on biological behavior, population dynamics and veterinary care done in the prescribed history card. For this, active participation of other institution scholars shall be obtained. Such research shall be partly or completely funded by NZP.

National Zoological Park is encouraging in carrying out scientific research by research scholars on

• Maintaining stud book and animal history cards
• Chemical analysis
• Pathology and parasitology of endangered animals

Proposed research problems for studies:

1. Breeding behavior of endangered species of the park.
2. To study the nutritional requirement in captive animals.
3. To study the ecto and endo parasites of the Zoo animals and there remedial measures etc.
4. To study breeding behavior, feeding and nutritional deficiencies in reptile and pheasants etc.
5. Hematological studies of wild animal.
6. Comparative studies of endo skeleton of cervids, carnivores and reptiles.
7. Histological studies of hairs of mammals.
8. Factors effecting migratory birds’ population of park.
