Quail safe

Listened to the new meateater with this professor from Texas tech who is tackling the decline issue. He has some compelling research and successes. He established the first and only fda approved animal feed to essentially deworm the quail from 2 types of worms that are apparently one of the leading issues in their survival. Attached is the link to the product. I’m thinking of trying some

I'd sure like to have good quail numbers again!

Hmmm seems like this guy might have cashed in on "creating" a problem and then a solution for it. I have not heard of these things as being a major issue with quail on any podcast I have listened to which tends to be focused on scientific studies, field research and experts in the wildlife/habitat fields. Yes these worms/parasites occur in quail and many other game birds, but from what I have found there hasn't been a study indicating that they are a leading cause of population declines.

I have been installing habitat at my new farm specifically for quail and have been finding as much as I can about it, and this is the first I've heard of it. I haven't listened to this episode yet and I'm looking forward to it.

My understanding is that it has mostly been a habitat loss issue. Specifically, farmers have gotten better about cleaning up fence rows and the breaking up of connected diverse habitats.

It’s worth the listen. He argues it’s definitely not all habitat. He backs it by highlighting some renowned ranches in Texas that lost their quail despite premier habitat

I'd be concerned about getting it eaten by quail and not something else eating it. Be kinda hard to keep track of I would think. Maybe not

I know with the grouse animals raiding their egg nest sites is a problem. NEver heard of quail worms.

Could be one of those problems you get with quail in captivity that you do not get with wild animals. Had bob whites for about 4 years to train my dog.
