Bait shyness has been used successfully to teach coyotes not to eat livestock. This involves baiting livestock carcasses with a chemical that causes the coyotes to vomit, making them associate the sick feeling with the act of eating the livestock. This creates a learned avoidance behavior towards the livestock. Self-selection feeding involves providing the coyotes with alternative food sources and letting them choose what they want to eat, but this method is not always effective. Pain avoidance and acquired anorexia are not viable options for teaching coyotes not to eat livestock.
