Researchers seek oral hog contraceptive at Texas A&M
In Texas and the South feral hogs threaten grazing land causing pasture damage and economic losses. At Texas A&M University a team led by Duane Kraemer tests an oral contraceptive for hogs, delivered in capsules to captive pigs, aiming to curb the exploding hog population and protect farms like Pete Gipson’s Red Cap Farms. The project follows a $1 million state grant to the extension service for technical help to landowners under siege.
