To attract feral pigs to free-feed sites, products including molasses and Carasweet can be used.Once feral pigs are accustomed to coming to these sites for feed, traps can then be introduced.Feral pig movements and numbers can be monitored coming to free-feed sites and the Pig Brig by using camera traps.With the Pig Brig trapping system, free feed can be placed inside the trap with the net raised to enable feral pigs to enter and leave the trap before slowly lowering the net to accustom the pigs to feeling it against their backs.The net can then be fully lowered to trap the pigs as they will freely access the feed by rooting underneath the net.This feral pig trapping system is now being utilised in Australia with good results.For example, 74 feral pigs were captured in a Pig Brig system by Greater Sydney Local Land Services as part of their feral pig management program being conducted in the Blue Mountains.This was discussed by Annaliese Geddes, a GSLLS Senior Biosecurity Officer, at the National Feral Pig Action Plan%u2019s Stakeholder Forum held in June.You can visit feralpigs.com.au/stakeholderforum/#ForumJune24 for more information on the forum.In the August 2024 edition of the National Feral Pig Action Plan%u2019s newsletter, the Peel Harvey Biosecurity Group from Western Australia provided practical insights and tips and tricks on using the Pig Brig system.The full article, prepared by Lacey Ford, PHBG Field Officer, can be found at feralpigs.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Pig-Brigtips-and-tricks-PHBGAugust-2024.pdfFeel free to contact me on heather.channon@feralpigs.com.au or call 0423 056 045 to discuss your feral pig management issues or for more information relating to this article.For more details on the Pig Brig trapping system and other tips and tricks on feral pig trapping, visit pigbrig.com and their YouTube channel youtube.com/@PigBrig OCT 16-17 %u2013 Dutch Pork and Poultry Expo %u2013 Evenementenhal Hardenberg, Netherlands. www.porkpoultryexpo.nl/OCT 25-27 %u2013 The 13th Leman China Swine Conference & World Swine Industry Expo %u2013 Chengdu, China. https://www.lemanchina.com/NOV 12-15 %u2013 EuroTier 2024 %u2013 Hanover, Germany. https://www.eurotier.com/en/NOV 20-21 %u2013 Pig Research Summit 2024 %u2013 Copenhagen, Denmark. https://pigresearchsummit.com2025JAN 7-9 %u2013 Banff Pork Seminar %u2013 Banff, Canada. https://www.banffpork.ca/FEB 11-12 %u2013 Minnesota Pork Congress %u2013 Mankato, USA. https://www.mnporkcongress.com/MAR 12-14 %u2013 VIV Asia %u2013 Bangkok, Thailand. https://www.vivasia.nl/MAR 24-26 %u2013 2025 National Feral Pig Conference %u2013 Gold Coast, QLD. https://feralpigs.com.au/MAR 25-26 %u2013 London Swine Conference %u2013 London, Ontario. https://www.londonswineconference.ca/JUN 4-5 %u2013 World Pork Expo %u2013 Des Moines, Iowa, USA. https://www.worldpork.org/NOV 17-19 %u2013 APSA Conference %u2013 Melbourne, Australia. https://www.apsa.asn.au/07 3286 1833porknews.com.auHow to supply event details: Send all details to Australian Pork Newspaper, PO Box 162, Wynnum, Qld 4178, call 07 3286 1833 or email ads@collins.mediaPork IndustryCalendar of Events%u00a9 Collins Media Pty Ltd %u2013 Contents may not be reproduced in whole or in part without written permission from the publisher.
