| Abstract | In Europe, the majority of driven pheasant shooting is supported by the release of captivereared pheasants to increase numbers of birds available to hunters. In Austria, as in the rest of Europe, intensification of agriculture has contributed to the decline of wild pheasant populations during the last 40 years. However, high densities of wild pheasants can still be found in some areas. Seefeld Estate, a 2400ha farm in Lower Austria, has among the highest densities of wild pheasants in Europe. Spring densities of over 100 hens/km2 have been measured on areas of this efficient and productive modern arable farming estate. Imaginative management of set-aside, game cover and field margins, combined with targeted predation control, have enabled an annual sustainable harvest of wild pheasants to be maintained. The annual harvest in the last 10 years has ranged from 16 to 54 birds/km2. Seefeld has maintained these higher densities in a region where wild pheasants have otherwise declined (current mean annual harvest = 4 birds/km2). This paper discusses the main factors responsible for high pheasant densities at Seefeld Estate and their implications for wild pheasant management in Europe. In addition, we will discuss the added conservation benefits accrued on Seefeld Estate because of wild pheasant management.In Europa werden die meisten Treibjagden auf Fasane durch das Freilassen von gezüchteten Fasanen unterstützt, um mehr Vögel für die Jagd zur Verfügung zu haben. In Österreich wie auch anderswo in Europa hat die Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft in den letzten 40 Jahren zur Abnahme der Wildfasanen-Populationen beigetragen. Dennoch gibt es in manchen Gegenden immer noch hohe Fasanendichten Das Gut Seefeld, ein landwirtschaftlicher Betrieb von 2400 ha in Niederösterreich, weist eine der höchsten Fasanendichten in Europa auf. Frühjahrsdichten von mehr als 100 Hennen/km2 wurden auf diesem effizienten und produktiven landwirtschaftlichen Betrieb bereits ermittelt. Einfallsreiche Bewirtschaftungsmethoden, darunter das Belassen von Schutzhecken und Feldrändern, zusammen mit gezielter Prädatoren-Kontrolle haben eine nachhaltige jährliche Strecke von Wildfasanen ermöglicht. Die jährliche Strecke in den letzten 10 Jahren betrug 16–54 Vögel/km2. Seefeld konnte diese hohen Dichten in einem Gebiet halten, in dem ansonsten die Wildfasanen-Bestände abnahmen (derzeitige durchschnittliche jährliche Strecke 4 Vögel/km2). Diese Studie diskutiert die für die hohen Fasanendichten in Seefeld verantwortlichen Hauptfaktoren sowie deren Implikationen für die Bewirtschaftung von Wildfasanen in Europa. Zusätzlich erläutern wir die postiven Wirkungen auf die Umwelt der in Seefeld betriebenen Fasanenhege. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
