Feral pig control success stories
In this series of videos, NSW landholders share their experience managing feral pigs on their property with the support of our biosecurity officers coordinating control programs.
By involving neighbours and using multiple control methods, landholders are making a real impact on feral pig numbers across the state.
Avoid crop damage by coordinating feral pig control
Moree grower and agronomist, Chris Maunder, explains the serious damage to his crops caused by feral pigs and the need for ongoing, coordinated control with neighbours to avoid future damage.
Control feral pigs to increase livestock production
Feral pigs were ‘out of control’ says Inverell grazier Kym Thomas, before trapping, fencing and control efforts reduced the numbers and limited the damaging impacts on her sheep, land and income.
Neighbours join forces to reduce feral pigs and disease risk
Barraba farmer Liam Johnston says the risk of feral pigs spreading disease to his cattle is his biggest concern, but joining his neighbours in a control group for coordinated baiting has dramatically reduced feral pig numbers.
