BeefConnect webinar: Improving the effectiveness of wild dog control

The impact of wild dogs on Australia’s cattle and sheep industries is a major concern for many producers.

In this webinar we will discuss:

• the ecology and biology of wild dogs and the impacts of hybridisation
• how to best utilise the current control tools (bait, trap, shoot, guardian animals, fencing) and
• an update on some new tools on the horizon.

We will also discuss the process of establishing local Wild Dog Committees and how this has improved the effectiveness and efficiency of control programs throughout Central West Queensland.

Guest presenters

Join Brett Carlsson, Queensland Wild Dog Coordinator with AgForce Qld, along with hosts Jon Condon (Beef Central) and John James (FutureBeef).
