WEBINAR: How much are feral pigs impacting your bottom line?

2pm, Wednesday 2 February 2022

Presenters: David Lindsay and Justine McNally from North West Local Land Services and Emma Sawyers from FeralScan

It’s a well-known fact that feral pigs can cause significant impacts on both grazing and cropping enterprises. But exactly how much that equates to financially hasn’t been looked at closely for over 10 years. 

The improved seasonal conditions across NSW over the past 12 months have triggered huge increases in feral pig populations. A survey conducted by local company AgEcon evaluating the actual financial impacts from feral pigs was commissioned by North West Local Land Services targeting our region’s farmers for the winter 2020 and summer 2020/21 cropping periods. 

Join us for a webinar as we hear from Senior Biosecurity Officer, David Lindsay with the survey results including a breakdown of regional commodity losses, total regional losses and proven effective control methods. 

If you have livestock, be sure to join in to hear from District Veterinarian Justine McNally about the disease risks posed by feral pigs. We will also be joined by Emma Sawyers from FeralScan who will give an update on the FeralPig Scan reporting app and how it can help paint the picture of pest control in your area.

If you can’t join in real time we still encourage you to register and you will receive a recording of the webinar emailed directly to you an hour after the conclusion of the webinar to watch at your own convenience.
