Seasonal activity of wild boar on the bilges

Abstract

Sezonska aktivnost divlje svinje (Sus scrofa) ovisi o različitim vanjskim i unutarnjim čimbenicima, a temperatura, svjetlo i ljudska aktivnost su jedni od glavnih čimbenika aktivnosti. Cilj je ovoga rada bio utvrditi sezonsku aktivnosti divljih svinja na kaljužištima te odrediti koju vrstu drveća i u koje godišnje doba preferiraju. Istraživanje je provedeno na području lovišta III/29 ,,Prolom“. Korišteno je 20 senzornih kamera koje su bile postavljene na kaljužištima i stablima za češanje. Istraživanje je provedeno od ožujka 2023. godine do travnja 2024. godine, u tom razdoblju je zabilježeno 1810 pojavljivanja divljih svinja, tijekom 4228 dana. Najveća aktivnosti divljih svinja zabilježena je između 17 i 21 sat te postoji mala promjena dnevne aktivnosti tijekom ljetnih mjeseci. Divlje svinje preferiraju stabla za češanje tijekom proljeća i jeseni te preferiraju crnogorične vrste stabala kao što su bor i smreka. Istraživanje je pokazalo veliku primjenu i učinkovitost korištenja senzornih kamera te rezultate sezonske aktivnosti divljih svinja na kaljužištima i njihove preferencije kod korištenja stabala za češanje.The seasonal activity of the wild boar (Sus scrofa) depends on various external and internal factors, temperature, light and human activity being one of the main factors of the activity. So, the goal of this work was to determine the seasonal activity of wild boars on bilges. Also, determine which type of trees they prefer and in which season. The research was conducted in the hunting area III/29 "Prolom". 20 sensor cameras were used, which were placed on bilges and scratching trees. The research lasted from March 2023 to April 2024, during which time 1,810 occurrences of wild boars were recorded over 4,228 days. The highest activity of wild boars was between 5 and 9 p.m. at night, and there is little change in daily activity during the summer months. Feral hogs prefer trees to scratch during spring and fall and prefer coniferous tree species such as pine and spruce. The research showed the great application and effectiveness of the use of sensor cameras, as well as the results of the seasonal activity of wild boars on bilges and their preferences when using trees for scratching
