RABBITS
It is estimated that farmers are losing about £50 million per annum as a consequence of rabbit damage to cereals. Winter wheat, barley and oats appear to be most vulnerable. Rye and triticale suffer smaller losses and spring barley appears to be the least susceptible to rabbit damage. In terms of annual yield, a loss of 1% per rabbit per hectare (2.5 acres) has been recorded for winter wheat and 0.33% per rabbit per hectare for spring barley.
The effects of grazing on winter cereals are most obvious during the winter, when plant growth is slow, and become less apparent when crops grow more rapidly in the spring. Rabbits are also responsible for the injury and in some cases deaths of horses and cattle by burrowing in grazing fields causing broken legs.
RATS
Given the opportunity, a 250gr rat can eat its weight in feed each day. This means, for example, that a farm with a total population of only 50 rats can easily lose tons of feed every year. The economic losses that are attributed to the feed wastage by the rodent are huge. A rat can contaminate 10 times the amount of feed it eats with its droppings, urine, and hair. A rat produces 25,000 droppings per year, a mouse 17,000. Overall this equates to over £2 billion of loss to farmers in the UK.
GREY SQUIRRELS
FOX
Foxes are predators so they love hunting small animals including your family pets which they could kill.
If you’re a farmer or own livestock, you know how much of a threat adult foxes can be. These animals are known to attack and kill chickens, ducks, geese, lambs, and other small animals for food. This can cause severe financial losses for farmers and other landowners.
What’s more, infected foxes can also transmit diseases to livestock and poultry, which can further impact their health and productivity.
If you have any animals on your property, it’s important to take steps to protect them from foxes.
