Introduction Results

Subject and Thegoalsproblem ofof researchdamage to agricultural crops from wildlife is evident every year, in many cases it is the subject of litigation between farmers and hunting ground users to compensate for the damage caused and in most cases both sides are dissatisfied with the epilogue. The damage that wild Main results in narrative, tabular, graphical or some other format (or their combination).

boars do to agricultural crops can be divided into: damage to areas under cereals, damage to potato fields and damage to meadows. Damage to fields

with cereals most often occurs on cornfields, during the milk phase of grain maturity, and the fields where early hybrids are grown, which are the

first to mature, are most affected. Damage is caused by breaking (felling) the tree and consuming the piston. However, the damage from consumption

is much less than the losses caused by breaking and trampling plants. It should be taken into account that at the same time and on the same surface,

30-40 animals of this species, of different sex and age, can be found at once. Damage to cereal fields occurs primarily on plots where the previous crop KO (Cadastral Municipalities) was corn. When combining corn, a small number of cobs are not harvested by machine, but remain behind the combine on the ground, and after Year Total wild Gornja preparing the plot for autumn sowing, plowing.

The consequences are plowed meadows on which significantly reduced the yield of grass

mass, as well as the necessity of their conduct. Harmful effects of wild boar in forestry can be manifested by consuming oak and beech acorns, and

thus reducing the number of germinating seeds. Damage to plots planted with oak and beech acorns can be caused by plucking and damaging young

plants during digging. In addition, fungal diseases can intensify due to damage to tree roots. In addition, they can affect the stimulation of grass and KO (Cadastral Municipalities) create conditions for rejuvenation of unwanted species.

protection of crops from wild animals. The game, when touched by a low-voltage electric fence, causes a strong shock that stays in its

brain for a long time and thus bypasses those passages;

Only greater education and joint work of farmers and hunting ground users will reduce the damage to agricultural crops from wild

animals, and thus the dissatisfaction of farmers.

The review of annual management plans and data analysis determined that the total number of wild boars in the entire territory of the hunting

ground "Kutlavica" increases every year, primarily in areas where it is possible to organize agricultural production of grain nutrients. The reasons

for increase in the number of feral pigs found in good environmental conditions and offer food that is at your disposal game. Good feeding and

ambient conditions, especially during the winter period, conditioned good reproductive characteristics of sows and a larger number of pigs.

Increased number of wild pigs and a greater need for food caused the movement and migration of pigs for food, and on this his way they have caused

damage to crops, arable and fruit crops. Those who manage and manage the hunting ground are certainly responsible for the damage

caused to agricultural crops, as stated by Petrović (1996) in his research (Table 1). The number of reported damages was constantly increasing as the

number of feral pigs increased, which clearly indicates that there is a correlation between the number of claims for damages and the number of feral

pigs. For many years, farmers were unable, or unaware, that they could file a claim and seek compensation for the damage done to them. Popović

et al. (2008) Came to similar findings in their research (Table 2). The amount of damage reported by agricultural producers was justified because

they arose from liability for damage caused by animals, said Radovanov (2009) in his research, which was also presented by the authors in this

paper. The amount of damages that were reported was higher and the financial amounts for compensation were constantly increased (Table 3).
