Using Radio-Telemetry to Assess the Risk European Starlings Pose in Pathogen Transmission Among Feedlots

Using Radio-Telemetry to Assess the Risk European Starlings Pose in Pathogen Transmission Among Feedlots

We monitored site-use and movements of 102 radio-tagged European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) during the winter months at 2 concentrated animal feeding operations (feedlots) in central Kansas.
