Options for Controlling Canada Geese
ID-174: Options for Controlling Canada Geese
Authored by: Spencer Guinn Amanda A. Gumbert Steve Higgins
Abstract
The average Canada goose produces more fecal waste than a dairy cow on a per-weight basis. In addition, gaggles of resident Canada geese have been associated with problems of over grazing. Having large amounts of fecal waste around a riparian area that has limited vegetation can lead to the runoff of nutrients, sediment, and pathogens, which can contaminate ponds, lakes, and streams in Kentucky.
