MODERN CONCEPTS OF MANAGING GAME ANIMALS POPULATIONS AIMING TO GREATER ECONOMIC VALORIZATION

By new Game and Hunting Law, 26.3. 2010 hunting grounds users are forced to switch to market principles of managing game populations in hunting grounds. This is especially significant for hunting associations, now managing about 90% of total hunting ground area in Serbia where among small games rabbit- Lepus europeus Pall and pheasant- Fasianus colchicus are the most important economically grown species. Project includes several thematic parts: • Perception of number, density, age, real growth and settlement impact on rabbit populations level of use in hunting grounds • Researching of pheasants growing production results in pheasantry and the best economic production valorizations, releasing and using same in hunting grounds • Feeding and nourishment influence on economic effects of managing rabbits and pheasants in hunting grounds and production centers • Implementation of biosecurity measures in growing • Nutrition nature research and parasitic analysis of carnivore species: wolf -Canis lupus, jackal-Canis aureus, fox- Vulpes vulpes and marten family-Mustelidae, their impact to grown species population and estimation of epizootiological risks in function of endoparasits transmission valorization possibilities to other grown species, potentially to humans. On the basis of project research, hunting grounds users obtain information about the way of grown game species managing in hunting grounds during transition to the market principles of managing game.
