[spread on agricultural fields, composted, etc.] Replacement Birds Keep a record of sources, placement dates, and flock movements. This record is located at [building, cabinet, drawer]. Water Supply Drinking water and water for evaporative cooling should come from sources that have been treated to eliminate any potential contamination with disease agents. If such water comes from a surface water source, experts in water treatment should be consulted on how to continuously treat the water to eliminate disease agents. If surfaces have been cleaned or flushed with surface
