Investigating improved rodent control strategies

Rodent control is critical for maintaining robust biosecurity in egg farms. In this project, the Research Organisation will consult with industry in a series of workshops to understand their current rodent control practices and challenges. Following the period of consultation, several rodent control trials will be conducted on commercial egg farms. The outcomes of these trials will then be disseminated to farmers though workshops and farm-ready resources.
