Australian Brumby Fertility Control Project

In November 2009 ABA hosted a seminar in Brisbane on Fertility Control in Horses.  Speakers included:

  • Jill Pickering, ABA
  • Jan Carter, Save the Brumbies Inc
  • Terry Wilson, South East Queensland Brumby Association
  • Sandy Radke, ABA
  • Dr Lyn Hinds, CSIRO
  • Cynthia Burntett, Animals Australia
  • Dr Bidda Jones, RSPCA Australia
  • Mark Weaver, Queensland Park and Wildlife Services
  • Dr Frank Keenan, Invasive Pest and Animals Section, Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation
  • Dr David Berman, Sunset Downs Pty Ltd

As a result of the seminar, a Working Party was established to develop a proposal for one or more trials of fertility control for wild horse populations in Australia.  Further information is contained in the papers below or by contracting the ABA.
