![]() ![]() In our rangeland trial, we found 49% fewer intrusions ( F 2,18 =4.39, P = 0.028) into bait stations with a 2-strand electric fence (x̄ =4.1, SE = 1.8) compared with no fence (x̄ =8.1, SE = 2.4). However, we found 50% and 40% fewer crossings for the 2- and 3-strand fences, respectively, compared with the 1-strand fence. In our captive trial, we found 65% fewer intrusions ( F 2,18 = 20.46, P < 0.001) for electric fences (x̄ = 12.4, SE = 2.8) compared with nonelectric fences (x̄ = 35.6, SE = 6.9). ![]() In captivity, we tested a 1-, 2-, and 3-strand electric fence. Our objectives were to evaluate the ability of electric fencing to minimize feral pig movements in a captive setting as well as in rangeland and agriculture land. One tool that has received little scientific inquiry is the use of exclusion fences to protect economically and ecologically sensitive areas. Abstract: Natural resource managers and agricultural producers are seeking innovative tools to minimize damages caused by rapidly expanding feral pig ( Sus scrofa) populations.
