The incidence and the damage done by stray dog’s attacks in sheep have economical impact in Portugal. We pretend to identify livestock management conditions that help to prevent stray dog’s attacks.
Livestock production in extensive systems (mainly with sheep) if faced with a high level of attacks/predation done by stray dogs, wolves and other carnivores. In the region, sheep predation by stray dogs is recognised; foxes and Egyptians mongooses also attack lambs.
