In this episode West Midlands Group host Erin O'Brien dives into what are the signs of wild dog activity and how to minimise stock depredation with guests Greg Mifsud, National Wild Dog Management Coordinator, from Invasive Species Solutions, and Paul Pitaro, Lead Licenced Pest Management Technician from Vertebrate Pest Management.

Western Australian DPIRD Research Scientist, Invasive Species, Dr Tracey Kreplins, and Tori Kirk, Australian Wool Industry Industry Relations Officer, put the spotlight on research on dingo purity and control methods in Western Australia.

National Wild Dog Management Coordinator Greg Mifsud explores wild dog, dingo and their hybrids predation, identification and available resources, the journey to establish the National Wild Dog Action Plan, livestock guardian animals and best practice management tools.

South Australian wool grower Geoff Power has a long dedication to industry advocacy and was a driving force behind the ongoing wild dog control measures at local, state and national level.

Australian Wool Innovation’s Marius Cumming caught up with Geoff to talk about his journey in protecting the national flock from wild dogs in a new AWI podcast.

Displaying dead wild dogs on fences and trees was once a way of letting locals and farmers know that wild dogs were in the area, now these displays undermine support for wild dog management activities.

Ian Evans, AWI’s Program Manager Vertebrate Pests, explains the history of the tradition, and an effective alternative for the 21st century: FeralScan™.
