dc.description.abstractThe Indian Wild Boar (Sus Scrofa L.) is wide spread animal. The present study involves the observations on the prevalnce of Indian Wild Boar and its damage in agricultural crops in selected locations of Punjab (Site-1 New Orchard Area (PAU), Site-2 BISA and Seed Farm of Ladhowal and Site-3 Regional Research Station for Kandi areas of Ballowal Saunkhri. The study period ranges from December 2016- April 2018. They were found in all three selected locations. They are major vector of many parasitic diseases which transfers to domestic and wild animals as well as to human beings. The life activity of Indian Wild Boar was varied with seasons, conditions and availability of natural resources. Like, nocturnal activity during summer and diurnal activity in winter. The present time the population and damage of wild boar was more observed in those areas, which present near the forest areas, water resources and uncultivated areas. Increase the number of human population and decrease the area for sheltering is play an important role to increase the damage of agriculture crops. The study also revealed that on an average 15-20% of the crop were damaged by Indian Wild boar. More damage was observed to maize (Zea mays), Jawar (Sorghum vulgare), Rice (Oryza sativa), Brassica spp. and vegetables crops. On the basis of survey report 56% farmers agreed with moderate amount of damage (20-25%), 91% farmers agreed with more damage to crops which were present near the forest areas and 98% farmers agreed with the use of the traditional management methods to minimize the damage of animals.en_US
