OVMA Position Statement – Standard Operating Procedure "Handling
of Game Birds at Field Trial Events"
OVMA does not endorse the use of live game birds for training and field trial events and
encourages ongoing efforts to investigate effective alternatives. OVMA commends the efforts of
Dr. Bailey and Dr. Gillingham for producing the Standard Operating Procedure "Handling of
Game Birds for Field Trial Events." It is hoped that the adoption of these procedures will
increase the humane treatment of game birds by user groups.
