| Depradaci¢n del jaguar sobre el ganado en los Llanos Orientales de Colombia | |
| 2012 Mastozoologia Neotropical (19): 139-145 | |
Some aspects of jaguar attacks on livestock were characterized through interviews in the municipality of Puerto Carre¤o (Dept. Vichada, Colombia). The most predated species was the domestic pig (90%, n = 54), followed by horses (6.8%, n = 5) and cattle (1.7%, n = 1). Jaguar selected pigs against other species (öý=103.9; df=1, p<0.0001) and also selected forest against the savannah for their attacks (öý= 15.5, df=1, p<0.0001). Jaguars were killed in 42% of the ranches evaluated. Measures to reduce attacks on domestic livestock are suggested. |
