Curlew Headstarting: Health & Disease

This session from the European Curlew Headstarting Workshop was led by Dr Sophie Common from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and provided an overview of veterinary considerations and managing disease risks in conservation projects. Key topics included the role of veterinarians, the implementation of biosecurity measures, and disease management protocols. The session also offered participants an opportunity to share experiences with housing other bird species and conducting health checks before release.
