Project code: N/A
Species/Threats: Feral pigs
The HOGGONE® project was ongoing from 2005 through the Invasive Animals CRC, Animal Control Technologies Australia and Meat & Livestock Australia.
During its lifespan, the project developed formulations of sodium nitrite and a new bait, HOGGONE®, for feral pig control so that additional tools are available for the ever-expanding number of feral pigs in Australia.
Sister projects to this effort in Australia were the registration of HOGGONE® in NZ (led by Connovation) and in the USA (led by the USDA National Wildlife Research Center) for wild hog control.
This project finalised the HOGGONE® research trials undertaken through the Invasive Animals CRC to add considerable strength to regulatory applications.
