Biometrical profile of wild boar (Sus scrofa L., 1758) on the background of wild boar management in Siemianice Game Breeding Centre
Abstract. Intensive hunting ground development (meant as building facilities for hunters, feeding wild animals with special kinds of feed, planned game shooting and field protection against damages caused by game) has a significant influence on the wild boar population. In the Siemianice Game Breeding Centre the number of wild boars has increased by about 50% in the last seven years. In the same period the shooting rate has increased by about 100%, while the reduced area of damaged agriculture has decreased from 1.00 ha per specimen to 0.3 ha per specimen. Furthermore, the difference between an average weight of one-year-old boars and two-year-old ones has increased, which means that they have been growing on fat more intensively after changing the way they have been managed in the Game Breeding Centre. The average weight of one-year-olds has decreased because of higher shooting rate of piglets that were born in late spring and summer.
