​​Wild dogs 

• contribute to lamb and sheep losses

• harass livestock and cause mismothering

• contribute to calf losses

• contribute to managed goat losses

• can spread diseases that affect livestock health

• impact red meat processing & quality by damage from bites, i.e. bite marks on stock are evident at processing and result in downgrading of carcases.

• can be a potential host of exotic diseases.

​

 The NBG receives funding through the Wild Dog Action Plan to support our activities in the management of wild dogs and protection of livestock.​ 

 

​

 

The National Wild Dog Action Plan (NWDAP) is supported by the federal government and outlines the principles of best practice management for wild dogs. The NWDAP principles underpin each state’s plan and provide important guidance to help producers formulate effective, best practice, humane management programs. ​​​​
