Information profile @ a Glance
- Crocodile farming is moving from extensive outdoor practices,
modeled on wild habitat observations which are much influenced by
climatic conditions, to intensive housing with environmentally
controlled housing being used for hatchlings and in some cases for
grower animals on commercial farms.
- Researchers have established that it is possible to manufacture
on-farm, cold pressed, pellet feed that crocodiles will eat
- Stunning equipment to capture crocodiles has been developed & has
revolutionized the way in which animals are captured for relocation,
measurement, examination and harvesting
- Fresh-water crocodile (Crocodylus johnstoni) is not commonly grown
in
commercial ventures as its skin does not command the high-grade price
received by farmers for the skin of the salt-water crocodile (C. porosus).
- Nile Crocodiles are gazetted as prohibited exports unless authorized
Collection of crocodile eggs is treated as hunting. Crocodile eggs and
or products are trophies in accordance with the National law and
therefore requires prior permit to collect the eggs or deal in crocodile
trophies such as meat and skins.
