Abstract
Small enclosed populations of the common brown rat (ten to twenty-six rats), each with access to one ton of sacked wheat for 12–28 weeks, caused a loss in weight of 4·4% of the wheat. 70·4% of the wheat was fouled and had to be cleaned before use. The main monetary loss was due to damage to sacks. Total monetary loss was 18·23% of the original value of the wheat and sacks.
