Know the management of the jaguar (Panthera onca) in zoos, as a conservation strategy due to its threat status and as through a training plan, the general clinical examination and sampling are facilitated. 36 species of wild felids on the planet have been specified, of which 12 species exist in the neotropic, of all the wild Felidae species described in the world, 62% show population decline categorized as threatened, vulnerable and endangered. Among the factors that lead to the population decline of felids are habitat fragmentation, urbanization and human population growth (Lewis et al., 2015). In Colombia, the greatest threat to species Biodiversity is due to the loss of Habitat, specifically affected by the expansion of agricultural and livestock borders. Among the main causes of deforestation are African palm crops, as well as illegal crops (Bello, et al., 2014; Vijay, Pimm, Jenkins and Smith, 2016). In addition to this, wild cats are threatened by other factors that include hunting, illegal trafficking and fur trade (Marchini and Crawshaw, 2015). Taking this scenario into account, within the strategies proposed for the conservation of the Jaguar is the design of strategies aimed at monitoring and protecting the core populations, identifying correctors that affect mobility and connectivity between the different populations, are also aimed at creating units Jaguar conservation that interacts with protected areas in situ, as well as ex-situ conservation processes that are maintained and repopulated affected areas (Kay et al., 2015; Rabinowitz and Zeller, 2010). Following the above, ex-situ conservation efforts are of great importance to control population viability while maintaining important genetic reservoirs that can help in situ rehabilitation programs (Jiménez, 2017). Simultaneously, to facilitate the clinical management of animals in precaution, they should be considered training, since it could facilitate the management of animals without the need to resort to physical or chemical restraint mechanisms, which would also help to achieve a semiological review. correct, to be able to administer medications and perform routine procedures, which would improve the welfare and health of animals.
