Efficacy of manufactured PIGOUT® baits for localised control of feral pigs in the semi-arid Queensland rangelands

Abstract: Conservative population declines of 73% were recorded in three independent feral pig populations in Welford National Park, Queensland, when PIGOUT ® baits containing 72 mg of sodium fluoroacetate were used in a baiting program following prefeeding. Declines were measured using a prebaiting population census with remote cameras, followed by carcass recovery. The knockdown of susceptible feral pigs may have been higher than this, since any carcasses not recovered reduced the recorded efficacy. In addition, feral… Show more

“…This research was subsequently augmented by studies on free-ranging feral swine, including bait uptake and consumption studies (McIlroy et al, 1993;Choquenot and Lukins, 1996), compound 1080 intake , risk assessments to non-target animals (McIlroy, 1992;Twigg et al, 2005a), the effectiveness of ground baiting campaigns with compound 1080 (Hone and Pedersen, 1980;Hone, 1983;Twigg et al, 2005b;Cowled et al, 2006a;Twigg et al, 2006Twigg et al, , 2007 and warfarin McIlroy and Saillard, 1989;Saunders et al, 1990;Choquenot et al, 1990), and the effectiveness of aerial baiting campaigns (Mitchell, 1998;Fleming et al, 2000). Compound 1080 and warfarin have also been used to eradicate feral swine from Santiago Island in the Galá pagos archipelago, Ecuador (Coblentz and Baber, 1987;Cruz et al, 2005).…”

“…Further samples were also collected opportunistically during other feral pig research (e.g. Cowled et al 2006b). Attempts were made to collect samples in a grid pattern across the entire study area.…”

“…Percentages of wild boar and feral pigs sampled in the sites where Et-IPA-marked baits have been distributed vary from 31% (in one of the three study sites of Fleming et al (2000)) to 95% (Fletcher et al 1990). Mitchell (1998) found 63% of adult feral pigs eating marked baits whereas Campbell et al (2006) and Cowled et al (2006) reached 74% and 73% of the feral pigs sampled, respectively.…”

“…Along with hunting, live-trapping, and habitat management, control of both wild boar and feral pigs may be achieved through baiting with baits containing poison (McIlroy et al 1989;Saunders et al 1990;Cowled et al 2006;Twigg et al 2007) or contraceptives (Linhart et al 1997). Baiting with oral vaccines is also used for wildlife disease control (Baer 1976;Cross et al 2007).…”
