Abstract

The study of the parasite fauna in wild boars from various natural biotopes of the Republic of Moldova allowed revealing that wild boars have a vast parasitic load, most frequently represented by polyparasitic associations. According to the invention, the supplementary feeding and deworming of the wild boars is envisaged during the cold winter period, coinciding with their reproduction period (December-February) when they face nutritional deficiency and need supplementary feeding. To deworm and compensate physiological needs of the boars during the cold period of the year (December-February) with vitamins, trace elements, and assimilable concentrated minerals will determine a new qualitative effect and allow them to survive, increase their reproductive potential in naturally conditions, and reduce the risk of their capture by predators. To accomplish this need, complementary briquette food is provided for each wild boar in two seasonal installments: December and February, and 1600 g (4 briquettes of 400 g each). A precisely defined dose per specimen in the form of briquettes (4 pieces of 400.0g), a total of 1600.0g/boar/day, has been administered in two halves of 14 days by use of the feeders.
