Abstract

ABSTRACT : The food preference of weasels, Mustela nivalis supblamata under non-choice and free choice methods was investigated under laboratory conditions. To study food preference of weaselsunder non-choice method, beef liver, house sparrow, quail, doves, fish meat, chicken liver, chicken meat and gandofli meats were used as food materials. The obtained data recorded that weasels at  mean body weight of 210, 200, 195, 180, 175, 200, 170 and 160 g, the average weight of consumed food were 133, 100, 119, 80, 100, 99 and 33.5 g / day , respectively with acceptance rate of  1.0, 0.75, 0.90, 0.89, 0.60, 0.75, 0.74 and 0.25  , respectively.As for food preference under free choice material, weasels  with 180 g  body weight consumed 130, 120, 128, 93.5, 105.5 and  33.0 g / day as  beef liver, quail, doves, house sparrow, poultry chick and gandofli, respectively, with acceptance rate of  1.0, 0.92, 0.98, 0.71, 0.80 and 0.25, respectively.   As for food preference under free choice material, weasels  with 177 g  body weight consumed 136, 118, 98, 37, 85 and 66 g / day as  beef liver, chicken liver, chicken meat, chicken eggs, fish meatand corned beef, respectively, with acceptance rate of  1, 0.86, 0.72, 0.62 and 0.42, respectively. Beef liver and fish meat poisoned baits with 0.5 , 1.0, and 1.5 % zink phosphide killed 40 to 100 % of weasels under laboratory conditions , the best results was recorded with beef liver poisoned bait 1.0% giving 100 % mortality. Application of compressed date baits poisoned with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 % zinc phosphide against weasels under laboratory conditions recorded  30, 60, 90, 100 % mortality percentages , respectively.
