Abstract

The wild boar represents one of the most required species by the hunters of Romania and abroad. Thus, in this paper, the evolution of wild boars population in the Timiș county (the west of Romania) is presented for a period of 10 years, from 2014 to 2023. During the year 2019, the highest number of specimens had been registered, namely, 3122 and in the following years the livestock decreased mainly because of the African swine fever (ASF). To get a management of the best quality, concerning the hunting economics and hunting mainly, there is the Hunting Complex in Sarlota, possessing an enclosed terrain of 1204 ha, where the wild boar represents one of the main species. There is a hunting museum nearby, that is a good source of professional information. In the Barzava area, in the Arad county, hybridization is practised rarely for commercial use, between the domestic swine and the wild boar.
