RŮSTOVÉ PARAMETRY DOMÁCÍCH PLEMEN CHLADNOKREVNÝCH KONÍ
POLÍČEK, Blahoslav
The aim of this work was to assess and evaluate, using own findings, the growth standard for all 3 breeds of cold-blooded horses. The height at the withers (KVH) and shin circumference (Ohol) were evaluated. All the information was obtained from the ASCHK CR database, Central Horse Register and own measurements. The Brody method was used to calculate the growth curve. Individual growth curves of the stallions of Czech-Moravian Belgian horse (ČMB), Norik (N) and Silesian norik (SN) breeds, which were bred in the years 2001 to 2016 in rearing stables, were processed. In total, the growth parameters of 157 stallions were processed (56 stallions ČMB, 47 stallions N and 54 stallions SN. It was found, that the growth standards used so far, do not fully correspond to the current growth of cold-blooded horses. The current growth is more intense in the parameter of the height at the withers (KVH) and is on average 2.2 cm higher for ČMB, 0.9 cm for N and 0.5 cm for SN. More intensive growth was also found in the circumference of the shin (Ohol), namely by 0.3 cm for ČMB, 1.0 cm for N and 0.6 cm for SN, compared to the current standard of the breeds. There was a statistically significant difference in these body dimensions between breeds of stallions at the age of 30 months. The new growth standards were developed, separately for all 3 monitored breeds, which is the main part of this thesis.
