description To evaluate the perception of agricultural and livestock producers regarding the impact of wild boar on their activity and the environment, a survey was conducted in Argentina. For better representativity, the survey was distributed in different ways. A descriptive and statistical analysis of the results was performed. The producers who answered the survey are mostly engaged in livestock activity (96%) but 69% had both livestock and crops. 39% of the producers detected damage to those crops, mainly in cereals (corn, sorghum, wheat, oats, barley and rye) and in oilseeds (soy and sunflower), without significant differences associated to the type of crop (p=0.88). Other damages referred were infrastructure damage (30%), animals attacked (20%) and livestock feed consumption (45%). 37% had or know someone involved in car accidents related to wild boar. From a scale of one (harmful) to ten (beneficial) the average wild boar score assigned was 3.16 (standard deviation = 2.27). However, in some areas of our country they consider the species to be beneficial (significant spatial clustering) due to its use as a hunting species. The wild boar turns out to be a relevant problem for a large part of agricultural and livestock producers and it is associated with several economic losses. Considering that the producers would be benefited with the decrease in the number of wild boars their awareness is encouraging, thinking of developing population control plan. This must be a priority to work inter-institutionally in Argentina, involving environmental authorities and those linked to the agricultural and livestock industry.

Para conocer la percepción de los productores agropecuarios respecto al impacto del jabalí sobre la actividad productiva y el ambiente, se elaboró una encuesta destinada a tal fin en Argentina, realizándose un análisis descriptivo y estadístico de los resultados. Los productores que respondieron la encuesta se dedicaban en su mayoría a la actividad ganadera (96%) y el 69% realizaba actividad mixta (ganadera y agrícola). El 39% de los productores detectó daños a cultivos provocados por jabalíes, principalmente en cereales (maíz, sorgo, trigo, avena, cebada, centeno) y en oleaginosas (soja y girasol), sin que se hayan demostrado diferencias significativas entre el daño y el tipo de cultivo (p = 0,88). Otros daños fueron deterioros a la infraestructura (30%), animales atacados (20%) y consumo del alimento del ganado (45%). El 37% conoció personas involucradas en accidentes automovilísticos relacionados con jabalíes. De una escala de 1 (dañino) a 10 (beneficioso), el puntaje promedio del jabalí fue de 3,16 (desvío estándar = 2,27). En algunas zonas este animal fue considerado beneficioso debido a su uso como especie cinegética (cacería). No obstante, el jabalí resulta ser un problema relevante para gran parte de los productores agropecuarios pues se lo asocia a pérdidas económicas importantes. Considerando que los productores son destinatarios directos del impacto benéfico que tendría la disminución de la cantidad de jabalíes, su concientización respecto al tema resultaría alentadora, favoreciéndose el desarrollo de controles poblacionales de la especie, involucrándose a las autoridades ambientales y las vinculadas a la industria agropecuaria.
