Operations I
Operations I
Beach Mosquito Control District has incorporated a sentinel chicken program within its integrated mosquito management arsenal since 1998. Throughout that time, many protocol adjustments have been implemented not only to create a more efficient operational cycle, but also to improve the chickens’ quality of life. This presentation will highlight my experiences of weekly serology sampling over the past two years, covering 4 essential duties: husbandry, blood collection, blood preparation and packaging, and documentation.
