What are the taming methods in wild boar farming?

1. Intensive taming. The subjects of taming are young wild boars, because young wild boars have small stress responses and great plasticity, and good results can be obtained through artificial taming. Select 5 to 20 kg (2 to 4 months old) young wild boars from the wild and capture them into cages. Do the following work at one time:

① Spray their whole bodies with aerosol insecticides such as “Chongkexing” to kill external parasites, and inject 0.5 mL of Aboding injection subcutaneously per 10 kg of body weight for internal deworming;

② Use scissors to cut off the upper and lower 2 pairs of teeth in the wild boar's mouth from the base of the gums to prevent injury to people;

③ Put on ear tags for easy identification. Because wild boars are timid, after the above measures are completed, disturb them as little as possible, and give them a specific quiet environment and dedicated feeding and training. For newly captured wild boars, on the 1st day only let them drink water, and add artificial salt to the water to clean the gastrointestinal tract. From the 2nd day, start feeding a small amount of compound feed for domestic pigs. If the young wild boars still refuse to eat within 2 to 3 days, use live earthworms, loaches, etc. to induce feeding, then feed fruits, grains, sweet potatoes, fresh bamboo shoots, etc. Inducing feeding during the taming period is very critical, and it must be done step by step; never be impatient. After a period of contact, establish an affinity relationship, and then when feeding, use your hands to massage and scratch them. When it is hot, help them bathe. When they are tamed to the point of actively approaching the feeder and close behavior of begging for food occurs, let the wild boars and the young sows of domestic pigs be raised together as a group to further accelerate the taming speed. The domestic pigs must be smaller than the wild boars, so that the wild boars are not injured by the domestic pigs.

2. Taming during the sexual activity period. During the sexual activity period, due to increased hormone levels in the body, behavioral characteristics such as panic, irritation, courtship, fighting, decreased appetite, and leaving the group and walking alone are likely to appear, which will bring many difficulties to feeding and management. The environment should be kept quiet, lighting should be controlled, and mating training should be carried out for wild boars participating in mating for the first time to prevent refusal to mate and bites. In particular, use sound, food, or other signals to establish new conditioned reflexes during the mating period, guiding wild boars to mate, eat, rest, etc. at fixed times, which easily forms regular activity and can not only ensure that adult wild boars avoid injury and death, but also improve the reproduction rate. The methods of wild boar taming include 3. Key issues in wild boar taming. The key issues in wild boar taming include:

① Simulate the wild environment and create it according to production needs. Because the climate is stable, food is sufficient, and there are few natural enemies, the reproductive survival rate of wild boars is significantly improved;

② Feeding habit training, while taking palatability into account, gradually transition to compound feed feeding;

③ Achieve group feeding and fixed-point excretion, bringing convenience to taming work;

④ Disease prevention must not be ignored. Focus on preventing swine fever and other frequently occurring diseases, and vaccines and bacterial vaccines for domestic pigs can be borrowed for prevention and control.
