Effects of sterilant and rodenticide on the population of brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)

Abstract

Abstract: In order to study the control effect on population increases of Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii), “Beiao” anti-procreate and poisoned baits (Bromadiolone) were used in East Ujimqin Banner Grasslands, Inner Mongolia, with a one-time sufficient dose in spring from May to September in 2013. The tests were conducted in sterile experimental, lethal experimental and control areas. The Brandt's voles were captured by trapping monthly. Results showed that the voles' family group sizes were significantly different in the sterile and lethal experimental areas in May (P<0.05), but not in June (P>0.05). The Brandt's voles' population recovery rate was faster and the birth rate higher in the lethal area compared with the sterile area. The male ratio tendency varied in the sterile area where the “Beiao” male anti-procreate was used. In summary, “Beiao” male anti-procreate demonstrates a better control effect on Brandt's voles.
