Integrating kangaroos and livestock though sustainable wildlife enterprise trials
Kangaroos are abundant in the temperate Australian rangelands where cattle and sheep are raised, competing with them in dry times and being labelled by livestock producers as pests.They are not contained and roam from property to property seeking out best pastures in response to local rainfall.Despite the existence of a commercial kangaroo industry, under current arrangements it is rare for landholders to benefit from the kangaroos on their lands or play a role in their management.To address this, Sustainable Wildlife Enterprises ( SWE) trials are underway to find ways to integrate kangaroos into livestock production systems.
