Dr. Lee Cartwright has received a $60,000 grant from the US-Egypt Joint Science and Technology Board for a project entitled "Economic Improvement of Quail Production in the US and Egypt." Half of the funds are from US sources and half are form Egyptian sources. This project continues his earlier research relationship with Dr. Mohamed Mady of the Suez Canal University on ostriches. Quail are an important meat producing bird that are being raised for flight use in hunting and for confined rearing for meat production. The research will focus on improved feeding and disease prevention programs.
