MDF has been examining the impact of feral pigs in Samoa since 2023, which are severe. Beginning in 2024, MDF supported trials on feral pig management measures in collaboration with the Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa (SROS) and the Samoan Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF). This includes a trial of Pig Brig traps.
MDF plans to work with the Government of Samoa and other organisations and individuals to trial additional feral pig management measures. This is likely to include trials of: (a) sodium nitrite baiting; (2) GPS tracking collars on pigs; and (c) electric fencing of commercial farms.
