Chicken's best friend? Livestock guardian dog bonding with free-ranging chickens
R. A. Mckellar, T. L. Kreplins, et al.
Discover the intriguing findings of a study conducted by R A McKellar, T L Kreplins, and P A Fleming, which delves into the role of livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) in protecting free-ranging chickens from predators. While LGDs spent more time at the farmhouse, a notable reduction in fox activity was observed during their roaming nights. This research highlights the mixed perceptions of LGDs' effectiveness among poultry producers amid ongoing predation challenges.
