Hello my friends, not only affected by mammals like wild rabbits, wild pigs, or rats. Every year, Australian farmers and ranchers suffer significant damage from millions of wild birds of the parrot family. Currently, there are 56 species of parrots living in most areas of Australia with an estimated number of more than 17 million individuals. Among them, the Galah Cockatoo, Sulfur Crested Cockatoo, Rainbow Lorikeet, and Budgerigar are the most popular parrot breeds on this continent. If there is a flock of parrots up to dozens, even hundreds of them appear near where you live. In addition to making annoying noises, they can also harm crops such as grain crops, fruit trees, and nut trees. In addition, parrots can also nest in inappropriate places like the recesses of your roof. Having dozens of parrots in your backyard also causes pollution due to the hundreds of piles of droppings they leave behind. These are Galah cockatoos, they are believed to be the most numerous of all parrots liv...

Hello, my friends, with only 13 wild rabbits were brought from England in 1859 by a rich man named Thomas Austin. Since then to this day, the overpopulation of wild rabbits and their negative impact on nature and agriculture has always left the government and many farmers in Australia with a headache to find solution countermeasures. Over the past 100 years, governments and farmers in Australia have adopted a variety of measures to control wild rabbit populations, such as building fences and destroying rabbit burrows. Even biological control measures such as infecting rabbits with viruses and releasing them into the wild have been applied. However, due to favorable living conditions and extremely fast reproduction, the number of wild rabbits in Australia has always increased rapidly, even though at one point 98% of the wild rabbits in this continent were exterminated. Female wild rabbits usually start breeding as soon as they reach 5 to 6 months of age. Currently, most female feral rab...

Hello my friends. In addition to the negative impacts caused by 287 million feral rabbits. In recent years, Australia's natural landscape and agriculture have also been significantly affected by other invasive species such as feral goats, wild boars, feral camels or European red foxes. Most invasive species were brought to Australia in the 17th and 18th centuries by European explorers and settlers. At that time, these animals were brought to Australia for the purpose of recreational hunting and providing milk and meat. Over time, animals that escaped or were intentionally released into the wild have bred and formed invasive species populations on Australian territory. Similar to how invasive species are controlled in the United States. The Australian government also allows people to hunt and trap some invasive species in large numbers. In addition, economically valuable invasive species will be collected and sold by farmers to muster for lost production costs. The first goats were ...

Hello my friends, today we are going to the deserts and arid regions of the western United States to see how farming and ranching work here. In the United States, arid lands and deserts are mainly found in states such as Nevada, eastern California, western Utah, Idaho and Oregon. In recent years, the temperature difference between day and night in desert areas in the United States has always been quite high. In particular, in the Great Basin Desert in Nevada, temperatures can drop from 87 degrees F during the day to 13 degrees F at night. It is estimated that by 2021, about 799 million acres of land in the United States that are considered deserts, accounting for 33% of the country's area. Of course, this statistic includes both arid and semi-arid regions. Currently, there are about 289,300 active farms in the western states of the United States. In which, about 37% of these farms are located in arid and semi-arid lands. Due to the extremes of the climate, crop farming in the arid ...

Hello my friends, today we are going to several turkey farms in the United States to see how the raising and meat harvesting of millions of turkeys happens. According to statistics in 2020, the number of turkeys in the United States is about 224 million. In which, Minnesota, North Carolina, Arkansas and Indiana are the states with the largest number of turkeys in the country. Here's what's happening at a turkey egg incubator in Minnesota. With state-of-the-art equipment, this incubator is capable of producing up to 57,000 turkeys per incubation. In recent years, Minnesota has always led the country in the number of turkeys with about 44 million, accounting for 18% of the total number of turkeys in the country. After 7 days, these thousands of eggs will be checked to make sure that the cells inside are developing well. The incubation period for turkey eggs is usually 28 days. Have you ever eaten turkey eggs? After 4 weeks, thousands of eggs have hatched and these turkeys are rea...

Alaska is the largest state in the United States but has one of the smallest agricultural industries. Alaskan farmers produce meat, vegetables, grains, and fiber. Alaskans already produce a wide variety of crops and livestock, and crop diversity is expected to increase in warmer and wetter climates.
