Zoo licensing
The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 and the Secretary of State's Standards of Modern Zoo Practice — including the new Great Britain standards that take effect on 24 May 2027.
The 2027 changeoverBuilt for UK facilities
Animal management software that knows UK regulation.
Daily husbandry, veterinary records, enclosures, and reporting — with a regulatory library that covers the UK framework: zoo licensing, the 2027 standards changeover, exhibition licences, and DEFRA and APHA duties. Every entry links to the official source.
The rules you answer to, in one place.
UK facilities are licensed and inspected by their local authority against national frameworks. The regulatory library keeps those frameworks as records with an issuing authority and a link to the official text — not as scraped summaries.
Exhibition licensing
England's 2018 animal-activities regulations licence keeping or training animals for exhibition — three-year licences from your local authority, with record-keeping conditions attached.
Licence record-keepingDEFRA and APHA duties
Kept-bird registration, notifiable-disease reporting, CITES paperwork for listed species, animal by-products, transport authorisations, and premises registration where livestock species are kept.
Records your inspector recognises.
Per-animal records
A complete acquisition-to-disposition trail per animal: identification, movements, daily care, behaviour, and the paperwork behind each transfer.
Medicines records
Veterinary medicine administration and controlled-drug logs kept durable and inspection-ready — the shape the Veterinary Medicines Regulations expect, including long retention where food-producing species are involved.
Registers and returns
Check current bird-registration duties, exemptions and update requirements with APHA. Current inventory records help your team prepare the information that applies to your premises.
Movement paperwork
Transfers, transport documentation, and the CITES certificates that follow listed species — attached to the animal they belong to, findable when the question comes.
UK pricing

Where we're honest about scope
The UK library is England-first: UK-wide and Great Britain instruments, plus the England versions of devolved regimes, with the differences for Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland stated rather than papered over. And it is research, not legal advice — it helps you find the rule and read it in the original; licensing decisions sit with you, your local authority, and your counsel.
