Due to state ownership of both free game and most forests in Poland, large hunting districts and low number of hunters, hunting in Polish hunting grounds provides an opportunity to encounter many animal species, often in their almost natural environment. The qualities of Poland’s fauna and flora as well as Poland’s accession to the EU and the resulting ease of movement have contributed to the development...
The authors analysed selected biometric features of the wild boars harvested in the Zielonka Game Investigation Centre in 2004-2007, including the carcass weight, body length and height at the withers, with regard to age and sex. Some population attributes were also analysed, including age, sex and social structure.
The research concerned the behaviour of a wild boar population in a large (7,500 ha) contiguous forest complex. The results obtained through telemetry include the size of home ranges, daily home ranges, and movement rates of the individuals observed. The separation of female and male home ranges was revealed. The researchers established that the wild boars were most often to be found in Scots pine...
Wild boar causes damage to the field crops in the Zielonka Game Investigation Centre for nine months a year. The most susceptible crops include rye, cereal mixes, oats, triticale, wheat, maize and potato. The reduced damage area (the damaged part of a manipulation area) in the research period varied from 8.42 ha in 2006 to 20.42 ha in 2005. The annual average reduced damage area was 14.42 ha.
The stomach content of 74 wild boars harvested in the Zielonka Game Investigation Centre in 2005-2007 were analyzed. According to the hunting management schedule and the cycles of forest and farmland food occurrence, three research seasons were selected and compared with respect to the trophic behaviour of wild boar. As many authors claimed, the animals extraordinarily tended to eat mainly the feed...
The research was aimed at establishing the degree to which wild boar used different parts of habitats in a large forest complex. In the Zielonka Game Investigation Centre, wild boar most actively rooted from October to March, in fresh mixed broadleaved forest and fresh broadleaved forest, in stands aged over 41 years.
The analysis of the lower jaws of 265 wild boars, including 143 piglets and 122 yearlings, harvested in Zielonka Game Investigation Centre showed that farrowing took place most often in March (43.3%), February (23.8%), April (17.5%) and January (11.2%). Piglets were also born in May, June and July. The percentages for yearlings were a little different.
