摘要: Heart,lung,liver,stomach,large intestine and small intestine of wild pigs captured from the Ziwulin Mountains,Gansu were measured and compared with those of Bamei,a local domestic pig breed. Each group included two males and one female with body weights ranging from 33 kg to 43 kg. In addition,feed digestion of wild and Bamei pigs were determined in two males and one female with body weights of 53 ± 2.3 kg using a total feces collection method. Results showed that only the relative weight of lung of the wild pigs (2.1%) was significantly (P<0.01) larger than that of Bamei. All the remaining measurements of wild pigs including lengths of large intestine (3.36 ± 0.38 m) and small intestine (14.15 ± 0.31 m),lumen volumes of stomach (1.82 ± 1.36 L) and large intestine (5.91 ± 1.04 L),and weights of stomach (0.38 ±0.05 kg),large intestine (0.47 ±0.04 kg) and small intestine (0.60 ±0.03 kg) were all less than those of Bamei (P<0.05). Digestive indices of wild pigs including daily digestible mass of crude protein (0.23 ±0.13 kg) and crude fiber (0.06 ±0.03 kg),percent digestibility for crude fiber (45.7 ± 1.8%) and daily intake of crude fiber (2.44 ± 0.15 kg) were all lower than those of Bamei (P<0.05). However,percent digestibilities of wild pigs for crude protein (75.9 ± 1.3%) and phosphorus (36.2 ± 2.3%) were higher than those of Bamei (P< 0.05). These results suggest a potential benefit in development of management strategies for domestic production of wild pigs.
摘要: We studied winter food-habits of wild boars (Sus scrofa) by using micro-histological fecal analyses in combination with field surveys of feeding sign in the Wulong Hunting area of Tonghe,Heilongjiang Province, during the winters of 2000 and 2001. The major winter foods of wild boars included Pteridophytes and the fruits,branches and leaves of other plants. Equisetum hiemale was the main food and accounted for 41.7%. Other food components, such as Pinus koraiensis, Populus spp., Juglans mandshurica, Quercus mongolica, Padus asiatica, and Corylus heterophlla accounted for 10.5%, 10.2%, 9.3%, 5.3%, 4.0%, and 4.0%, respectively. The concentrations of crude fat and crude protein of the food plants showed a peak in November, then decreased and became lowest in February, then increased slightly in March. The mean concentrations of crude fat and crude protein were 9.6% and 10.2%,respectively.
