Pest Animals

Rabbits, foxes & feral dogs, are a significant cause of lost productivity for Australian woolgrowers and affect biodiversity on farms. AWI continues to proactively develop new methods for controlling these pests. Research currently being undertaken will deliver accurate assessments of the current populations and the best means of control into the future.

  • Rabbits

    Rabbits remain the most costly agricultural and environmental pest in Australia. AWI has invested in projects to gain an understanding of the status of RHD and the impact of rabbits on biodiveristy and lost productivity.  

  • Foxes and feral dogs

    The most significant and harmful predators of sheep, foxes and feral dogs, pose an ongoing threat to productivity.
