How Rabbit Poisoning Methods Work, S H. Wheeler
How Rabbit Poisoning Methods Work, S H. Wheeler
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
While the "rabbit plauges" of the past are a distant memory for most farmers, rabbit numbers must still be controlled in many parts of Western Australia. Rabit control techniques rely heavily on poisoning, which given the right conditions can kill a high percentage of rabbits at risk.
Recent research by the Agricultural Protection Board has been aimed at determining how different poisons, baits and poisoning methods work. By knowing in detail how each method works and what influences its results, we can choose the best control method for a particular place and time, avoid costly failures, and increase the effectiveness …
Structural Studies Of Preimplantation Rabbit Embryos Using Ftir Atr, Amy R. Moler-Booth
Structural Studies Of Preimplantation Rabbit Embryos Using Ftir Atr, Amy R. Moler-Booth
Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
FTIR was used in conjunction with a surface selective technique, known as attenuated total reflectance (ATR), to study the infrared spectra of preimplantation rabbit embryos. The rabbit embryos ranged in aged from 3 to 6 days. Since an embryo is mostly water, deuteration of the embryo was necessary to eliminate the intense water background present in the mid-infrared region. A set of spectral standards were tested, in order to identify the bands seen in embryo spectra. By analyzing and comparing the spectra from 3, 4, 5 and 6 day embryos, differences could be noted. In particular, bands defined as Amide …
Animals Are Suffering: Hsus Seeks To End Rabbit Blinding Tests
Animals Are Suffering: Hsus Seeks To End Rabbit Blinding Tests
Close Up Reports
The research industry has long held that the use of animals is the only "reliable" way we have of determining the safety of a cosmetic, drug, or household product. Over the years this belief has served to support scientists as they subjected animals to many tests. The American public has seen little of the massive animal suffering that has taken place in the research labs.
Today, a new debate is taking place. People from all walks of life are asking if all the suffering and death is worth it. Many research scientists have joined the ranks of those who are …
Poisoning Rabbits From The Air, C D. Gooding
Poisoning Rabbits From The Air, C D. Gooding
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
AERIAL baiting gives spectacular kills of rabbits in country which cannot be effectively treated by conventional means, and has been widely adopted in New Zealand and other States in Australia.
Here Mr. Gooding reports on developments in aerial baiting in Victoria, and suggests practical applications in Western Australia.
The Success Of The Rabbit 'Killer' Trials, A R. Tomlinson
The Success Of The Rabbit 'Killer' Trials, A R. Tomlinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
SUCCESS well beyond what was anticipated has been achieved in a two year trial of a modified version of the rabbit "killer" method.
In the "killer" method, trained officers are employed to kill rabbits instead of to inspect and supervise the activities of farmers and, in fact, these officers do all the actual work of destruction.
This system was advocated by the W.A. Royal Commission which reported on Vermin Control in this State in 1944, and it was used successfully in New Zealand.
These trials were applied only to poisoning and not to overall destruction measures. The main object was …
Free Feeding For The Control Of Rabbits, C Marshall
Free Feeding For The Control Of Rabbits, C Marshall
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN common with most other farm work, the control of rabbits calls for a high degree of skill, patience and perseverance.
There is no short cut to success, and if results are required we must be prepared to give of our best.
Failures of control works are experienced at various times, and the reasons can generally be traced back to something we have failed to do or some short cut we have tried to take.
However, we should not lose heart from one failure. During normal farming procedure, if a farmer's crop fails he does not give up planting in …
