Abstract
We used a DNA metabarcoding method combined with high-throughput sequencing to analyse the diets of omnivorous wild boars. We extracted DNA from stomach contents. Three barcoded DNA regions (ITS-2, rbcL and P6 loop) were amplified and sequenced to identify plants consumed in different regions; the dietary plant genera differed significantly among the regions. To evaluate reproducibility, we analysed plant species compositions using three DNA samples from the same individuals; the samples did not differ significantly at the generic level, indicating that the stomach samples were well mixed. We next explored what the animals consumed. We used the polymerase chain reaction priming oligonucleotide and peptide nucleic acid methods to block the amplification of host DNA, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 DNA. Both methods significantly reduced boar DNA amplification, but not DNA amplification from other animals.
