Managing Vertebrate Pests: Feral Pigs D. Choquenot, J. McIlroy, T. Korn. - Australia : Bureau of Resourse Sciences, 1996. - 163 p. : il. tablas y mapas; 24 cm.

Australia´s feral pigs were introduced from Europe and Asia and are now widespread across much of eastern and northern Australia. Feral pigs are a complex management problem, for they are both an agricultural and environmental pest and a commercial resource, providing income to those who harvest them for sale. Feral pigs prey on lambs, eat crops, damage pasture and may also affect native plants and animals through selective feeding, trampling and rooting. Feral pigs could also be a major vector for exotic diseases should they enter Australia.
