Standardized Sample Collection Protocols for Bison
Aune K, Cheville N, Davis D, Hunter D, Rhyan J, Roffe T, Williams B. Standardized Sample Collection Protocols for Bison. Greater Yellowstone Interagency Brucellosis Committee
This protocol was designed for the collection of samples from bison in a uniform manner that will lead to data as free of contamination and artifact as is possible in a field setting. In addition to the complete protocol for optimum sampling situations, a short protocol is included for special situations that arise during sampling in the field. Examination of bison by biologists will involve recording of data on teeth, hair, horns and other physical characteristics. Special samples may be required for data during this phase of examination.
