摘要: A humane method to control elephant populations without behavioural side effects. Concerted efforts nurture have resulted in overpopulation several areas, which turn has led damaging levels of browsing. As an alternative culling entire family groups order this damage, we developed immunocontraceptive vaccine from pig zona pellucida safely and successfully controls free-roaming African elephants.
