Description
IT includes sustaining a successful management program for captive MBW with biosecurity measures in place that ensures survival in the event one captive population incurs a catastrophic event. These funds will cover the season leading up to masked bobwhite chick production, which includes daily care of the breeders, feeding, changing and washing waterers daily, health checks, screening forparasites, and providing special care to individuals with any health issues. The aviculturists also clean the enclosures, replace sand, maintain pens and facilities, monitor air quality, change and clean air filters, set up pairs ahead of breeding season, and continuously update database. Prior to use, incubators and hatchers are cleaned, disinfected, heat mapped and calibrated. Brooders are assembled, disinfected and calibrated as well. The staff produces greens and mealworms as nutritious supplemental feed for the birds. Biosecurity measures include dedicated clothing, changing of shoes, hand washing and disinfecting foot baths at all entry doors, as well asregulating visitations to the facilities.
