The ecological studies on wild boar are essential for the effective management in the future.During May and December 2012, We collected 79 wild boar stomach samples from culling program implementationto reduce agricultural damage in Geochang County and analyzed stomach contents to figure out wild boar diethabit and which crop was preferred. There was seasonal variation in the diet. Plant foods represented up to93.5% of the diet and were consumed more frequently than animal foods. Invertebrates occurred with highfrequency but were underestimated in dry weight because they are rapidly digested. Agricultural crops consumedcomprised mainly chestnuts(33%), rice(33%), and apples(24%). Agricultural crops are also a potentially important foodresources for wild boar. The frequency of occurrence of earthworms was 50% of diet. Earthworm consumptiongenerally increased in summer, and then decreased in winter. Our results show that wild boar can be consideredan omnivore whose diet consists of plant and animal foods. To reduce wild boar agricultural damages, We haveto focus on the prevention effort to rice paddy adjacent to chestnut forest and to apple orchard.Key words: wild boar, human-wildlife conflict, diet, crop damage, wildlife management, earthworm consumption
