Wild Birds
RIFCON offers standard as well as tailor-made generic and exposure related field studies, working with any relevant avian species occurring in agricultural landscapes.
Beside field effect studies, we conduct generic GLP field studies that address the determination of focal species and of realistic exposure parameters like ‘portion of time’ (PT) or ‘portion of diet’ (PD) in any crop type across Europe and beyond (e.g. recording of EU relevant data for South American authorities). Furthermore, we design and conduct specific and data gap focused semi-field and pen studies to collect risk assessment relevant refinement data on avoidance or de-husking behaviour.
