Repellent Trials to Reduce Reforestation Damage by Pocket Gophers, Deer, and Elk
We tested selected, potential repellents in pen and field trials to determine their ability to reduce consumption of palatable foods by pocket gophers (Zbmomys talpoides), deer (Odocoileus spp.), and elk (Cewus elqhus). Only sulfur-based compounds (predator urines and Deer AwayB) deterred feeding by captive gophers. Chemically hot, bitter, and noxious compounds and plants did not deter gopher f...
متن کاملAvoidance of hydrolyzed casein by mice.
When casein, a milk protein, is hydrolyzed, it renders human foods that contain it (e.g., hypoallergenic infant formula, cheeses) distasteful to many people. This rejection of hydrolyzed casein (HC)-containing foods has recently been found to also occur in a non-human species (deer, Odocoileus spp.). Identifying other animals that avoid HC would facilitate understanding how and why HC-containin...
متن کاملPreliminary Testing of a Selenium-based Systemic Deer Browse Repellent
Silviculturists use a variety of techniques, including repellents, to reduce browse damage by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to valuable eastern hardwood seedlings. Systemic selenium, sodium selenite, was evaluated with captive whitetailed deer for its repellency in white ash (Fraxinus americana) and black cherry (Prunus serotina) seedlings. Selenium had no effect in reducing browsi...
متن کاملEfficacy of Deer StopperTM Repellent for Reducing White-Tailed Deer Damage to Ornamental Plantings
A 2-year study was undertaken to assess the efficacy of Deer Stopper repellent for reducing white-tailed deer damage to ornamental plantings. Efficacy testing was conducted on a captive deer herd at Auburn University’s White-tailed Deer Research Facility and the Stimpson Wildlife Sanctuary, Jackson, AL. Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata), a highly preferred browse species in this area, was used as t...
متن کاملEvaluating New Protein Sources for Development of a Deer Repellent Product
Several protein sources were tested as deer repellents with captive deer. Black-tailed deer were offered Western redcedar seedlings treated with corn gluten meal, feather meal, poultry blood, hydrolyzed casein, or a control (latex sticker used for treatment proteins). After 37 days, feather meal and hydrolyzed casein provided equivalent protection against browse damage (only 23% of seedlings si...
