The wild boar (Sus sus scrofa) stands out for being very appreciated by men in cooking, due to it quality and low rates of cholesterol. Before the scarce literature about its morphology, it was aimed in this work to report the muscles innervated by the suprascapular nerve and subscapulares nerves showing the quantity of branches. There were used 19 animals, originated from the Laboratory of Research in Wild Animals from the Veterinary Medicine College of the Federal University of Uberlândia. The animals were fixed with phormaldehyde at 10% and subject to injections of the above-mentioned solution in the carotids arteries, intramuscular and body cavities. The muscles of the forelimb were dissected in order to identify their innervations. The conclusions were that the suprascapular nerve issued branches to the supraspinal and infraspinal muscles of right and left antimeres, as the cranial and subscapulares nerves and the tail end, issued branches to the subscapular muscles of bath antimeres. Regarding the statistical analisys were not observed statistically significant differences between antimers.
