Botha, J.
A survey of farmers' experience using guard animals to control the impact of predators on farm livestock
2018  Full Book

South African farmers have struggled for many years with the loss of livestock on their farms due to predators such as black backed jackals (_Canis mesomelas_) and caracal (_Caracal caracal_).

This study investigates the use of livestock guarding animals (LGAs) as a non-lethal method of controlling predators on farms.
