Abstract

Divlje svinja (Sus scrofa L.) je vrsta iz reda papkara, koja živi nomadskim životom. Ženke ove vrste žive u čoporu skupa sa mladima, na čelu kojeg se uvijek nalazi najstarija ženka, dok odrasli mužjaci žive usamljeničkim načinom života. Najsnažniji mužjak dolazi do krda isključivo u vrijeme parenja, a nakon kojeg ponovno odlazi živjeti samostalno. U jednom leglu se javlja najviše pet mladih. Ova vrsta je svežder, hrani se hranom biljnog i životinjskog porijekla, pa čak i strvinom. Divlja svinja je u Hrvatskoj autohtona vrsta, čija brojnost populacije varira tijekom godina. Na brojnost ove vrste utječe nekoliko čimbenika, ali najvažniji je čovjek. Ljudi love divlje svinje zbog mesa, trofeja, ali i zbog štete koju ova vrsta uzrokuje na poljoprivrednim površinama. Tijekom suše divlje svinje dolaze do održavanih površina u potrazi za hranom, te na taj način uzrokuju novčane gubitke poljoprivrednicima. U zadnjih dvadesetak godina u Hrvatskoj su se pojavili hibridi nastali križanjem divljih i domaćih svinja. Ovi hibridi su fenotipom sličniji divljim svinjama, ali imaju više mladih, daju potomstvo tokom cijele godine i slabije su otporni na virusne i parazitske bolesti.

Abstract (english)

Wild boar (Sus scrofa L.) is a species from the order of ungulates, which lives a nomadic life. Females of this species live in the pack along with the youth, led by the eldest female, while adult males live solitary way of life. The strongest male comes in a pack only during mating season, after whitch he goes back tu live independently. There is a maximum of five youth in one litter. This species is omnivorous, feeding on food of plant and animal origin, and even carrion. Wild boar is a native species in Croatia, whose population number variates over the years. There are several factors that influence on the abundance of this species, but the most important one is the man. People hunt wild boars fot meat and trophies, but also because of the damage caused by this species in agricultural areas. During the drought wild boars arrive in cultivable areas in search for food, thus causing financial losses to farmers. In the last twenty years hybrids created by pairing wild boars and domestic pigs appeared in Croatia. These hybrids have similar phenotype to wild boars, but they have more youth, give progeny throughout the year, and are less resistant to viral and parasitic diseases.
