Sažetak
Research covered the analysis of body masses, body growth and cull of wild boars on the territory of Republic of Croatia. Wild boar represents one of eight species of big game that are being managed on the territory of Republic of Croatia and makes the framework in cull with a yearly excreta of around 30 000 individuals (Anonymous 2012). Meat that is yearly produced from wild boar comes mainly from open hunting grounds, in smaller part from breeding farms. Since wild boar has extremely high reproduction ratio, almost 50% of cull is realized by cull of younglings and meat production as such is highest in that age category (Tomljanović 2012). Research found that average cull masses of wild boar are 39, 87 kg in younglings, 55, 84 kg for yearlings and 94, 03 kg in adults. Quantity of meat with bones that is gained in relation to animal’s body mass after cull is different at each age category within the same species. Meat yield is proportional to mass and in younger animals it is smaller and increases with the increase of mass. Conducted research determined that meat yield for younglings is 48, 43% and average body mass 19, 30 kg, yearlings records yield of 49, 15 % and average body mass of 27, 45 kg, while in adult animals yield is 51, 96% and average body mass 48, 84 kg. When you put average yearly cull in relation to cull in theory (Krže 1988 ; Bauer and Claußen, 1986) you get a yearly production of od 1 570 939 kg and with average sell price of 19, 5 kn/kg the value of wild boar meat production is 30 633 310 kn. Wild boar meat market is pretty underdeveloped, there is no buyout strategy and therefore produced meat is mainly consumed within the families of hunters. If you put meat production in relation to number of inhabitants (4, 29 mil.), it turns out that average production and consumption of wild boar meat is 0, 36 kg/per capital yearly.
