TIN023 - Rabbits: use of fencing to prevent agricultural damage (TIN023)

Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) cause extensive economic losses to agricultural, horticultural and forestry interests. Landowners and occupiers therefore require cost-effective and humane means of controlling rabbit numbers. One of the most common forms of managing the problems rabbits pose is to deny them access to vulnerable areas. Fencing is currently recommended as a humane and environmentally acceptable means of excluding rabbits and thereby reducing damage to agricultural, horticultural or forestry interests.
