Abstract:This research study was based on requirements in the field of forestry in Transylvania, where there has been a decrease in the performance of conformation and constitution of the wild boar. In the studied area, we intend to monitor the phenotypic parameters: conformation and constitution of individuals by sex and age. The surveys were conducted over the years 2013-2014. The biological material was represented by 43 female and 63 male adults, aged over 3 years, harvested from three hunting grounds in Transylvania. Conformation measurements were made for the following characteristics: body length, height at the withers, croup height, thorax perimeter, body weight, head length, forehead width between the ears. Estimates were made of average and dispersion factors for each characteristics and phenotypic correlations were estimated between concerned characteristics. There is a large variability in all studied characteristics in both males and females, given by individual differences and higher performance limits for each characteristic, given by both individual variability, and environmental condition as well as harvesting season.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
