About this Event
Wild pigs are defined as any pig outside of a fence, but the main type of wild pig that causes problems is the Eurasian wild boar. This hardy invasive species is a major threat to environmental health, animal health and human safety. They can alter ecosystems through their destructive feeding behaviours, they can act as carriers for many animal diseases including foreign animal diseases , and they can pose a significant risk to human safety. Squeal on Pigs Manitoba is a collaborative effort among livestock producers, government and non-governmental organizations, landowners and indigenous communities to coordinate the efforts to first control, and eventually eliminate, wild pigs from Manitoba. Cost: $5 for members (non-member rate $10)
Presented by Dr. Wayne Lees, former Chief Vetrinary Officer for the Province of Manitoba.
