Assessing the Risk of Sterility in PZP Darting Programs

If the NDA allowed you back on the Virginia Range in 2019 and you pounded the mares with pesticide-laced darts through 2023, how long have you been poisoning the herd?

Elapsed time = Final yearInitial year + 1 = 2023 – 2019 + 1 = 5 years

How long does it take to sterilize a mare?

Five years.

Aren’t you concerned about the long-term viability of the herd?

We have a better way to get rid of wild horses.  There’s no need to spend tens of millions of dollars every year on roundups and off-range holding.  The bureaucrats and ranchers just need to be patient.
