Livestock Predation Survey
Introduction
Agriculture Victoria is seeking up-to-date data to better understand how wild dogs and dingoes are affecting Victorian livestock farmers.
To do the best job we can, we need good information on how wild dogs and dingoes are affecting Victorian livestock farmers. That is why we are conducting this survey.
The purpose of this survey is to collect data from farmers about incidents of livestock predation by wild dogs and dingoes on private land, including:
levels and frequency of livestock predation experienced;
range of impacts of livestock predation experienced by you and your local community;
effectiveness and efficiency of lethal and non-lethal control methods.
Data collected through the survey will help inform a review of the policies and regulations for the management of livestock predation and conservation of dingoes in Victoria.
In partnership with Traditional Owners, Agriculture Victoria will commence formal consultation in the coming weeks, with farmers, ecologists, industry and other stakeholders being invited to participate and provide feedback.
This survey is being conducted by Agriculture Victoria, which is part of the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action. This survey uses the terms ‘wild dogs’ and ‘dingoes’ and includes dingo-dog hybrids or crosses, but not domestic dogs.
