This publication is designed to help poultry producers reduce or prevent predation by improving or extending care and management of their flocks.
Most poultry predation occurs in flocks of 100 to 200 birds that are owned by small operators, who raise birds for home consumption or local sales. Large, commercial producers generally manage poultry under 100 per cent confinement and rarely experience predator losses. To qualify for compensation,, producers must demonstrate that there is appropriate and adequate confinement for their poultry and losses must be confirmed as predator related by government inspectors.
