ASF has existed in Poland since 2014. The main vector of this disease is wild boar (Sus scrofa). Traditional baiting site is one of the most popular elements of wildlife infrastructure for wild boars hunting. Along with the development of ASF in Poland, the bait became an object of attention due to the high probability of contact between healthy and sick animals, and thus as a place of potential spread...
The results of the inventory of damage caused by roe deer in a 2−year−old apple orchard in central Poland permitted to evaluate the browsing intensity as well as the relationship between biometric characteristics of trees and browsing intensity. The research showed that damage caused by the roe deer was mainly caused by shoot browsing, then rubbing the velvet antlers against trees and bark stripping...
The aim of the study was to demonstrate how the trophy quality of antlers of the red deer stags living in two large forest complexes in the Mazowsze region (central Poland) differs from those inhabiting other regions of the country. The study used the data describing the body and antlers weight of 272 stags shot in 2005−2014 in two large, separated from each other, forest complexes of Spała and Gostynin...
The aim of the study was to verify the hypothesis that the quality of male roe deer hunted in the Kielce region depends on the selected characteristics of the place of their earlier habitat (forest cover, soil) and the age of the individuals. As a criteria to verify that hypothesis we chose carcass weight, weight and height of the antlers and skull dimensions. Material consisted of carcasses and antlers...
The aim of the study was to determine the abundance of winter food of cervids and the capacity of the Game Breeding Centre 'Krystyna' administered by the Kluczbork Forest District (southern Poland). Research was based on the estimation of shoots available for cervids in winter time. Evaluation of annual increment of biomass was calculated on 160 circular plots, on which occurrence of trees and shrubs...
The paper presents the first Polish bibliography on mouflon that includes papers published in the years 1945−2014. Forty seven publications show diversified interest in mouflon depending on its population size. Three different periods of research activity and publishing were distinguished. The first one (1945−1960) called the ‘opening balance' was the time of assessment of mouflon in Poland after...
More than 3000 direct observations of 5900 mooses were used to investigate the sex structure and growth of the population living in the Kampinoski National Park (KNP, central Poland). The study used data collected by the park service since 1998. To confirm the hypothesis that the random observations will accurately describe the population structure the experiment was performed with a theoretical population...
Wild boars (Sus scrofa) are regarded as food generalists and opportunists, whose great flexibility in food selection enables them to settle in various environments in a wide geographical area inhabited by them. Wild boars are perceived also as agricultural pests, since due to their dietary habits and a method of food seeking more crops are destroyed than consumed. In European habitat of wild boars,...
The aim of the study was to characterize individual quality of mouflon harvested in the Bardzkie Mountains (south−west Poland). The assessment criteria included horn dimensions, i.e. their length, circumference (base, middle and top), spread and twist. These features were individually analyzed for each mouflon ram. Medal value of the trophies expressed as CIC scores increased with the ram age reaching...
The study assesses potential food resources and cover for Grey partridges reintroduced in extensive agriculture conditions in central Poland. Research material consisted of data from 315 1 m2 study plots located in seven types of land use. Significant dynamics of food resources and cover with regard to season and land use form was found. Small crop areas or lack of intensive agrotechnical treatments...
The paper presents the selected indicators of hare populations in Poland. The material consisted of 528 hares acquired during traditional hunts. For each hunted hare we specified its weight, sex and age. All individuals were classified into two age groups: the first comprised juveniles (up to 12 months of age), while the other – adults (over 12 months). The ratio of young individuals in relation adults...
The research analyses the use of space by the Wild boar living in a human−transformed landscape. CMR method was used. Animals were caught in two complexes from February 2009 to May 2010. Fifty boars were captured. Information on the location and hunting time were collected. Results show small range of activity of investigated Wild boars. Animals were shot within 4 km from the trapping place. The longest...
