Influence of 1080 bait colour on acceptability by target species and removal by non-target animals [wild dogs, foxes, rabbits; poison]
1985
Rathore, A.K. (New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service, Sydney (Australia))
The number of meat baits taken by birds on the periphery of 3 National Parks in New South Wales was variable but averaged 28 percent; colouring the meat green significantly reduced the number taken by birds but did not affect their attractiveness to dogs and foxes. Poisoned carrot dyed green was as effective as undyed carrot in controlling rabbits; 0.083 mg 1080 per g of carrot was as effective as 0.333 mg per g against rabbits and was therefore ecologically more acceptable.
