(2) Methods: Three different bait types were tested using a hand-out model on the campus of the Kasetsart University and the surrounding temples in Thailand during September 2017, consisting of two industrial manufactured baits (fish meal and egg-flavored) and one bait made from local material (boiled pig intestine placed in collagen casing). A PVC-capsule containing dyed water was inserted in the bait. (3) Results: The fishmeal bait was significantly less often accepted and consumed (50.29%) than the other two baits (intestine bait\u201479.19%; egg bait\u201478.77%). Delivery and release of the dyed water in the oral cavity was highest in the egg-flavored bait (84.50%), followed by the intestine bait (76.61%) and fishmeal (54.85%) baits. Bait acceptance was influenced by sex, age, and body size of the dog. Also, the origin of the dogs had a significant effect: temple dogs accepted the baits more often than street dogs. (4) Conclusion: A significant portion of the free-roaming dog population in this study can be vaccinated by offering vaccine baits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci5020047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,7]],"date-time":"2018-05-07T03:12:21Z","timestamp":1525662741000},"page":"47","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Field Studies Evaluating Bait Acceptance and Handling by Free-Roaming Dogs in Thailand"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Suwicha","family":"Kasemsuwan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen 73140, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karoon","family":"Chanachai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Livestock Development, Ministry of Agriculture, Ratchathewi, Bangok 10400, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanu","family":"Pinyopummintr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen 73140, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kansuda","family":"Leelalapongsathon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen 73140, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kitipat","family":"Sujit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Livestock Development, Ministry of Agriculture, Ratchathewi, Bangok 10400, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ad","family":"Vos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IDT Biologika GmbH, Am Pharmapark, 06861 Dessau-Rosslau, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Weeragidpanit, S., and Lekcharoensook, P.
