Abstract
The objective of the present study was to analyze the chosen biometric parameters of wild boars in the weight classes. The research material included 74 carcasses of wild boars hunted in the Lublin, Podlaskie, Warmia-Mazury Voivodship study areas over the 2007/2008 season. The measurements formed a basis for chest capacitance index (CI) and body structure index (BSI) calculation. The studies revealed that BSI, whose value decreases with an increase of male, fe-male and juvenile wild boar body mass, is more useful for determination of a body weight class of wild boar.
