Judas Pig

Product Information

To determine the effect of possum population control on TB levels in wild pigs and to compare the utility of released captive-reared sentinel pigs and resident wild pigs as TB surveillance tools, we conducted pig necropsy surveys in the poisoned study area on Molesworth Station and in the adjacent unpoisoned Clarence Reserve. The TB status of each pig was determined, along with duration of exposure (for released pigs) or age (for resident pigs). These data were used to calculate and compare the prevalence and incidence of infection between areas, between years, and between resident and released sentinels.

Whenever possible avoid capturing and handling when females are farrowing or have dependent young at foot. This will vary with season and area. Peaks in mating often occur in response to the flush of green vegetation that follows heavy rain or flooding, with farrowing occurring 112—114 days later. For example, in southern NSW, most births occur in summer and autumn, whilst in the monsoonal lowlands of Northern Territory there is a peak in births in the early dry season. Weaning age of piglets varies from 2 to 3 months. At times of farrowing, sows tend to move over less distances and are usually more cryptic which may reduce the effectiveness of any pig control conducted at this time. I don't know which situations in the book really happened, I wasn't there, but it all sounds realistic. If you did some research on gangland London you will recognize some of the infamous names and crime entities : Maltese gangsters, the Turkish Cypriot Arif clan,...all make an entertaining but realistic sounding appearance.

The weight of the collar and transmitter will not normally have a significant impact on the Judas pig, as pigs are relatively large animals. The lightest collar/transmitter available should always be used (ideally < 3% but no more than 5% of the body mass of the animal). BBC One – Panorama, Cops, Criminals, Corruption: The Inside Story".

You've got to be sure of yourself to go up against travellers, but honestly these guys weren't afraid of anyone and being family they would go further for one another (die for one another) than most they came up against. That always gave them an advantage.

A special breed of hybrid super pigs from Canada have started to travel south into the northern United States. Most transmitters run on a lithium cell. When lithium is exposed to air, it reacts violently and emits highly toxic fumes. If the lithium cell is accidentally ruptured, e.g. by a bullet when shooting pigs, then the area should be avoided for a few hours to allow the fumes to disperse.

The Judas technique is commonly used to locate remnant individual animals or groups of feral pigs in low density populations.
