In the fall of 2010, the Northern bobwhite quail population plummeted in the Rolling Plains of Texas and Oklahoma, and it’s never been the same.
The “The Bobwhite” film follows the journey of Dr. Ronald Kendall, his family, and his team at Texas Tech University’s Wildlife Toxicology Lab as they find a culprit, develop a treatment, and work with other concerned partners on bringing the quail back.
Dr. Ron Kendall and his team have identified parasites that seriously impact wild Northern bobwhite quail.
The Wildlife Toxicology Lab at Texas Tech University has been conducting research over the past three years in conjunction with FDA to formulate and gain approval for the first medicated feed developed for a wild quail in North America. Pilot study ranches in Texas and Oklahoma, are putting the research to the test and the results are promising for a future of sustainable quail populations.
