The Harvey bait factory in Western Australia has started producing cane toad sausages for a unique conservation project in the Kimberley.

The first batch of sausages were churned out this week, using 30 kilograms of minced cane toad meat.

The special sausages will be sent back to the Kimberley to feed native animals such as northern quolls, in the hope their experience in eating the sausage will cause vomiting and future aversion to the deadly toads.

Program leader for WA's cane toad strategy, Corrin Everitt, said the commercial-scale production of cane toad sausages was a significant moment for the project.

"This is a turning-point for us, from the laborious task of making cane toad sausages by hand through a kitchen mincer, to being able to produce toad sausages through the commercial sausage-making machinery they have here [at the Harvey bait factory]," she said.

"We can now produce large quantities of cane toad sausages for our taste-aversion project in the Kimberley."

Ms Everitt said the biggest challenge was making a sausage that would make native animals sick, but not too much that a sausage could be deadly.

"So at the moment we've got 30 kilograms of minced toad meat and trialling how much of a proportion we can use to get the right kind of consistency in the sausage," she said.

"At the moment we're unsure how many we're going to be able to produce, but hopefully it'll be enough to run some good trials in March up on the Kimberley's Mitchell Plateau."

Community asked to collect as many toads as possible

Ms Everitt said the long term plan was to aerial-drop the sausages over a significant area of the cane toad frontline, but more toads were needed.

"We desperately need toads, because the more toads we have available to us, the more sausages we can make, which in the end equates to the more areas we can work at mitigating the impact of cane toads on northern quolls," she said.

"So this is a shout-out to the East Kimberley community to please keep collecting toads, because we need as many as we can get."

A community "cane toad busting" session to collect toads for the program will be held at Celebrity Tree Park in Kununurra on February 18.
