34 4 - Sampling for Ungulate Pellets Ungulate abundance will also be indexed by enumerating their faecal pellets. This exercise will be done on the same line transect that has been sampled for ungulate encounter rate. To save time, this exercise could be done after the line transect has been sampled in the early morning for ungulate encounters and whilst doing the habitat and human disturbance sampling. At every 400m along the transect (line of walk) the observer needs to sample an area of 2m by 20m, perpendicular to the transect for quantifying ungulate pellets. This is done by using the 2m long stick held at the centre horizontally in his hand and by walking slowly looking left and right for 20m. The plot is placed alternately to the right and left of the transect at every 400m (see Figure 7). The topography and forest type should be recorded for each plot even if pellets are not seen. All ungulate pellets encountered need to be recognized to ungulate species and recorded in appropriate columns of the attached data sheet (see Appendix 3). The number of faecal pellets need to be counted. In cases where the pellets occur in large heaps, then they should be categorized into the following categories: A (50- 100), B (100-200) and C (>200). In areas where small livestock like sheep and goat are known to be grazing, it is possible that feacal pellets of these can be confused with wild ungulates especially those of chital. In such areas, a mention needs to be made that goat or sheep graze the area. In the last row of the data sheet the observer needs to report if ungulate/animal listed in the data sheet occurs in the sampled beat to the best of his knowledge irrespective of whether its pellets/dung were recorded in the plots.
