Taiyo Kogyo Co., Ltd. conducted a demonstration experiment on the effectiveness of a special cement-encapsulated cloth “Concrete Canvas” (CC), which can be made into a highly durable concrete mat just by pouring water, on the effect of preventing wild boars from digging up farmland. Confirmed to have a protective effect.
Based on this result, we will sell the product as a countermeasure against wild animals to the administrators of farmlands, parks, roads, and underground cables.
Protective fences are effective in preventing wild boars from entering, but it is necessary to cover the ground with highly durable materials to prevent excavation around the ground of the fence and underground buried objects. CC is a composite material called geosynthetic cement composite mat developed in England.
The amount of damage to agriculture, forestry and fisheries due to wild birds and animals is 15.5 billion yen in 2021 (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries). There are many cases of wild boars digging up the ground around important underground installations such as optical cables, as well as wild boars crawling under the fences and devouring crops.
