How Do Farmers Use Traps To Deal With Millions Of Invasive Wild Boars? | Farming Documentary

hello to all of my friends wild BS are extremely  strongly invasive species that are prison in America especially in the State of Florida where  the number of wild Boors accounts for 50% of the total wild War population in America the sharp  increase in numbers forced the state government to take the strong counter measures these  methods using traps to deal with millions of wild Boors are considered most effective  so join me to find out in the following video invasive wild boes are becoming  a

serious threat to both farms and ecosystems in particular male  pigs can cause great damage to agriculture people have to deal with  wild Wars digging and destroying the soil environment reducing crop productivity however they usually only  invade Farms when natural food becomes scarce so why has  their food source been reduced so drastically that is due to the expansion  of agricultural land exploitation for cultivation the the second reason is that the destruction of natural  habitats also re

duces their food source and the third reason is that  their weight also affects their food surch as a 110 lb male wild board requires  approximately 4,000 to 4,500 calories of food per day their great weight not only puts  great pressure in natural food sources but also causes serious damage to Farms  each year their Invasion causes heavy damage to Farmers vegetation affecting  agricultural production and the local economy when faced with the problem of  wild boar infestations Florida residents

have found an effective solution  with the use of the hogfoot snare trap every day to install a series of  these trps in quantities of 5 to 10 to install traps people choose locations that are  paths or areas where wild Boors often look for food but before installation they need to  prepare carefully by checking and cleaning the area where the Trap is located in removing  obstructions that may interfere with the Trap the Trap setting process  begins with choosing a suitable location and dig in a

deep hole to place the  Trap they then carefully installed the Trap into the hole making sure it was firmly  fixed and didn't move when a wild board entered once the Trap has been installed people  need to regularly chick and maintain it to ensure Effectiveness thanks to the implementation  and careful management of the hog fot snare trap floridans have been able to  minimize the impact of feral swine on their farms and habitats while protecting their habitat an integral part of the traing  pro

cess is the preparation of the bait the process of prep teing bait to trap  wild pigs in Florida requires care and thoroughness in particular people  here often use corns as the main ingredient to enhance the bait's  effectiveness corn is often mixed with orange Jell-O and attractive  flavor and used to attract wild boes mixing Cor BN with orange yellow not  only increases the appeal of the bait but also helps it retain its scent and flavor longer  making it easier for wild BS to detect an appro

ach what has happened is  that using the above method using liak traps and bait has proven  its Effectiveness in controlling wild B every day the number of wild War cotton  traps has increased significantly in 2023 through the use of traps people have detected a  significant increase in the number of wild boes CAU this is a positive sign the  this method is working helping them protecting their crops and property from Wild boes however the question remains whether  capturing wild BS is the final

and most effective solution are there other methods they could  use to prevent wild Boors from entering more effectively comment below and share your views  in using Le traps to control feral swine in Florida another method of dealing with wild boes is to use nit traps which are more  effective and convenient than iron traps the NIT trapping process  considered more effective and the outstanding feature is that it can  catch many wild boes in one trapping session setting knit traps usually  doe

s not take much time compared to Iron traps due to the simple  and quick installation process first people plac Nets next to  large fields lurs are usually placed in the center of the Trap so  they can easily get caught in the net every time they invade a large  number of wild Bo populations can be captured increasing efficiency  and reducing people's time and effort are you curious about how  knit traps Works knit traps are often designed to activate when a  wild board collides with the [Music]

net at that time the Trap  will automatically collapse making the pig trapped in the knit unable to escape this mechanism often includes the user of  surrounding colums to hold a knit this creates a closed cage like mistra structure preventing  wild bores from escaping without harming them although trapping to control feral  swine shows promise significant challenges remain CA is one of the important factors  with causes associated with purchasing the traps transporting them and maintaining the

m at the same time Florida is Harsh  and varied terrain also increases the difficulty of setting traps and maintaining them carrying out the trapping process  also requires careful management and organization however by overcoming  these challenges Floridians can continue to develop effective methods  to control feral swine and prct their habitat comment number one  if you agree with the NIT trap method comment number zero  if you agree with the lick trap method the wild boar an animal that  app

eared in America during the Age of Exploration witnessed rapid adaptation and  proliferation in its new environment [Music] from pigs brought from Spain Hispanola and 1493 by the 16th century they had become  a popular animal in many areas of America the US government began its  deforestation to build urban areas in the 1700s this process took place  rapidly and vigorously in the 19th and 20th centuries by 1900 about 90% of the  primary Forest Area and the US had been [Music] destroyed notably t

he US government has applied fire spraying by aircraft  since the 1930s to destroy forests but it has caused negative consequences for  biodiversity and the habitat of many wild an animals about 150 species of wildlife have suffered and migrated due to negative  impacts of deforestation and [Music] fire thousands of urban areas  and highrise buildings have sprung up a sign of modernization at the  beginning of the invasion journey of wild [Music] bores wild pigs which live in  environments such

as forests grasslands and Woodlands are affected when they migrate  to other areas including corn fields and farms on the other hand wild Boors  with their ability to reproduce rapidly contribute an important  part to the increase in their numbers a so can give birth to  six to 12 piglets in a litter and piglets are capable of giving  birth when they are only 6 months old this leads to a sudden increase in  Wild Bo's numbers and just a short short period of time from about 1 million In 1980 this

  number has increased to more than 6 million in 2023 although wild Boors mainly live  in forests with the sudden increase in numbers they face difficulties in finding food  and the natural environment this has promoted the migration of wild Boors to other  areas areas especially corn fields and Farms wild boore migration  is a remarkable Phenomenon with about 50 to 70% of them moving to other forests this number is a testament to the  importance of migration and the life cycle of this animal in

addition another part of the Wild boore  population about 20 to 30% moves to fields and Farms this is not only a big problem but  also an increasingly serious challenge increasing the risk of collisions  between wild boes and agricultural activities the period of time where wild boes  search for food in the forest is quite short according to estimates the time spent searching  for food in the forest usually lasts 2 to 3 years when wild boes move to other areas  when food sources and the forest

become scarce in addition to invading fields  and Farms wild Boors are now expanding their Terr teritory into residential  areas creating a series of worrying problems first of all this situation  pose a threat to Traffic Safety when wild boes often appear on the  road especially at night when it's dark this increases the risk of traff accidents with an estimated 200 each year and  the US causing serious injuries and loss not only that but wild BS are also a  potential source of environmental po

llution wild BS cause damage to community property they  can dig up soil destroy trees and damage people's belongings with the ability to dig up Gardens destroy crops and even house foundations wild  boes cause unnecessary economic losses it cannot be denied that  the cause is not a human therefore appropriate measures needs to be taken  to deal with this invasive wild Bo's population so what do you exactly think  we should do to deal with the invasive wild boore populations please comment below

ight starting from September to November this is  the time of transition from Summer to Autumn when food in the forest becomes scarce  and wild bores need to find new food sources making this journey the often  migrate from forest in the central and southern regions of the United States where  food sources are richer than forests in North America although wild Boors are capable of  moving at a speed of about 10 km hour their migration speed can fluctuate depending  on many factors such as the si

ractors the the virus helps keep the  human population at 300 million a few years ago another virus was  released to fight Australian [Music] rabbits why there are a lot of rabbits in  Australia but their meat is not sold in stores it turns out that only a few thousand  rabbits are kept in private households only four farms in all in Australia where they are  bred the problem is that all virus releases are carried by blood sucking insects that do not  distinguish between wild rabbits and simply

infect all it cost them $10 to vaccinate a rabbit  and $40 if the vaccination was done by a [Music] veterinarian as a result Farmers  would need to spend $10,000 to $40,000 a year to vaccinate a farm of 1,000 rabbits which  is too expensive so rabbit meat in Australia is considered one of the most expensive meats that  can only be eaten service in fine dining [Music] restaurants so since these Solutions have been  affecting in preventing the growth of colonies of some invasive species do you bel
