Auburn researchers study feral hog damage in Alabama

Feral hogs cause more than $50 million in damages to Alabama farmers every year, but Auburn University researchers are looking for ways to help reduce that number.
Professors and graduate students at Auburn’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences secured a $450,000 grant from the Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee to remove hogs as well as monitor and prevent the damage that hogs do in Alabama, and show which strategies for hog control are most effective.
The project will involve using drones, water samples and logging observations to better document the full impacts of hogs in Alabama, from torn-up fields to degraded streams and creeks. Funding for the program came from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Feral Swine Control Pilot Program that was established by the 2018 Farm Bill.
