| Research Abstract |
The problems in ranch management that induced wild mammals were evaluated, and the countermeasures for them were examined. 1) A total of 12 wild mammals were detected with remote cameras in a ranch, and 2) the interspecific differences of the occurrence among meadows, pastures and woods in the ranch were confirmed. 3) Wild boar, raccoon dog and red fox ate concentrated cattle feed in the ranch. The former two species showed high dependency on the cattle feed. 4) The nutrient and reproductive states of the raccoon dogs eating livestock feed were confirmed to be heightened. 5) The installation of the electric fence surrounding the feed shed for cattle was proved to defend the depredation of cattle feed by these three species.
