  3. Why the Nations?

  4. Is There Potential for Free-ranging Dogs to be Vaccinated Using ORV?

  5. Methods - Bait Selection Bait-Tek Inc

  7. Number of Feral Dogs Receiving Each Bait-type n = 741

  8. Ontario Slims

  9. Dog Food Polymer

  10. Fish Meal Polymer

  11. Coated Sachets

  12. Polymers • df: 1 • Chi-square = 0.96 • p < 1 Fish Meal Polymer Dog Food Polymer

  13. df: 1 Chi-square = 51.21 p < 0.001 Bait Preference • df: 1 • Chi-square = 14.31 • p < 0.001 Ontario Slims Polymers • df: 1 • Chi-square = 25.00 • p < 0.001 Coated Sachets

  14. Today and Beyond • Coated Sachet • Preferred in this study • “Operational” for last 3 years • Opportunities • Biodegradable packet • Improved attractant
