Genetic study links feral pigs in Victoria and SA to northern NSW pigs, likely introduced illegally, raising disease concerns.
Genetic analysis links feral pig populations in Victoria’s south-west and South Australia’s Limestone Coast to pigs from northern New South Wales, suggesting illegal introductions by hunters.
High-density populations—three to five pigs per square kilometre—were found in areas including the Snowy River catchment, Otway Ranges, and Budj Bim National Park, raising concerns about disease risks such as foot and mouth disease and swine fever.
The study, using data from 600 camera traps, aims to map feral pig distribution to help authorities and farmers target high-risk zones and prevent disease spread.
