Model standard operating procedures for the humane research of pest animals in Australia
These model standard operating procedures were prepared to assist researchers involved in pest animal research. They were formulated through a number of stages, which included: * A desktop review (including contacting relevant government agencies, researchers and industry organisations) and evaluation of existing literature and legislation that is available in relation to the care and use [...]

Restraint and handling of pest animals used in research
Research involving pest animals may require the live capture, restraint and handling of individual animals. Wild animals may try to avoid capture, handling and restraint during which they are capable of inflicting damage to themselves and their potential captors. When physical contact is necessary, the safety of animals and operators should be the primary consideration. [...]

Marking of pest animals used in research
Research involving pest animals may require the reliable identification of individual animals. Where possible, researchers should make use of natural identifying marks. However, the majority of species require the application of some form of identifying mark or tag. A variety of techniques is available and includes temporary, semi-permanent and permanent markers. The type of marker [...]

Measurement and sampling of pest animals used in research
Research involving pest animals may require the taking of measurements of and samples from individual animals. Examples include body weight and size measurements, blood, hair and faecal samples. Measurement and sampling techniques must be appropriate for the species and minimise distress and the risk of injury to the animal. Inappropriate techniques may lead to major [...]

Southland conservancy island biosecurity plan
Southland Conservancy of the Department of Conservation (DOC) has been an innovator when it comes to island biosecurity procedures. With responsibility for over 1000 islands which support numerous rare and endemic species, it is not surprising that Southland staff have afforded this aspect of conservation a high priority. Southland Island Biosecurity Plan and a Best [...]

Taming HSNO for Pest Managers
The legislation for vertebrate pesticides in New Zealand has recently been overhauled. New controls on these substances now run to hundreds of pages of legalese. To enable Department of Conservation staff to cope with this change we have analysed and interpreted controls into meaningful actions to ensure compliance. Existing Standard Operating Procedures were modified and [...]

Humane pest animal control: Code of Practice and Standard Operating Procedures
This publication meets the pressing need for pest animal control methods which are humane, target specific, cost-effective and safe for humans to use. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) discuss animal welfare impacts for target and non-target species and describe techniques and their application, as well as covering health and safety aspects. A Code of Practice (COP) [...]

Aerial baiting of rabbits with 1080
Poisoning with 1080 is used to minimise the impact of the introduced European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) on agricultural production and the environment. Other rabbit control methods include poisoning with pindone, warren fumigation, warren and harbourage destruction, shooting, trapping, exclusion fencing and biological control with rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) and myxomatosis. Poisoning with sodium monoflouroacetate (1080) [...]

Trapping of rabbits using padded-jaw traps
The introduced European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has a significant impact on agricultural production and the environment. Rabbit control methods include poisoning, warren fumigation, warren and harbourage destruction, biological control with rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) and myxomatosis, shooting, trapping and exclusion fencing. Trapping is not considered an effective or efficient rabbit control technique, although it is [...]

Ground shooting of rabbits
The introduced European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has a significant impact on agricultural production and the environment. Rabbit control methods include poisoning, rabbit fumigation, warren and harbourage destruction, biological control with rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) and myxomatosis, shooting, trapping and exclusion fencing. Shooting of rabbits is undertaken by government vertebrate pest control officers, landholders and professional [...]

Mustering of feral horses
Feral horses (Equus caballus) can cause significant environmental damage and losses to rural industries. Although considered pests, feral horses are also a resource, providing products such as pet meat for the domestic market and meat for human consumption for the export market. Control methods include trapping, mustering, exclusion fencing, ground shooting and shooting from helicopters. [...]

Trapping of feral pigs
Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) have a significant impact on the environment and agricultural production and are a potential reservoir and vector of exotic diseases. Control methods include poisoning, trapping, exclusion fencing, ground shooting and shooting from helicopters. Commercial harvesters also use traps to capture pigs for export as wild boar meat. Prior to trapping, free [...]
