EXPERIMENTAL RODENT CONTROL AT THE BEEF CATTL E RESEARCH CENTER, KAN SAS STATE UNIVERSITY

Little research has been conducted on rodent control techniques in livestock feedlot situations. We tested efficacy of several treatments including two anticoagulant baits, an acute toxicant and snap trapping to reduce rodent populations at the Beef Cattle Research Center at Kansas State University. Among the four treatments utilized, Contrac®, Blox®, and Ditrac® Tracking Powder reduced the number of active burrows. ZP® Rodent Bait had no observed effect on the rodent population and no rodents were taken with snap traps. Burrow activity appears to be a better census method when compared to corn consumption when rodents have access to unlimited food. Pages 117-123 in C. D. Lee and S.E. Hygnstrom, eds.
